Configuring Multiple CMCs Using RACADM
Using RACADM, you can configure one or more CMCs with identical properties.
When you query a specific CMC card using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the racadm.cfg
configuration file from the retrieved information. By exporting the file to one or more CMCs, you can configure your
controllers with identical properties in a minimal amount of time.
NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique CMC information (such as the static IP address) that must be
modified before you export the file to other CMCs.
1. Use RACADM to query the target CMC that contains the desired configuration.
NOTE: The generated configuration file is myfile.cfg. You can rename the file. The .cfg file does not contain
user passwords. When the .cfg file is uploaded to the new CMC, you must re-add all passwords.
2. Open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and type:
racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg
NOTE: Redirecting the CMC configuration to a file using getconfig -f is only supported with the remote
RACADM interface.
3. Modify the configuration file using a plain-text editor (optional). Any special formatting characters in the
configuration file may corrupt the RACADM database.
4. Use the newly created configuration file to modify a target CMC. At the command prompt, type:
racadm config -f myfile.cfg
