Users Guide

CAUTION: Use the racresetcfg subcommand to reset the database and the CMC Network Interface

settings to the original default settings and remove all users and user configurations. While the root user is

available, other users’ settings are also reset to the default settings.

• If you type racadm getconfig -f <filename> .cfg, the command builds a .cfg file for the current CMC

configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for your unique

.cfg file.

Parsing Rules

• Lines that start with a hash character (#) are treated as comments.

A comment line must start in column one. A "#" character in any other column is treated as a # character.

Some modem parameters may include # characters in their strings. An escape character is not required. You may

want to generate a .cfg from a racadm getconfig -f <filename> .cfg command, and then perform a

racadm config -f <filename> .cfg command to a different CMC, without adding escape characters.

For example:

# This is a comment

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminPageModemInitString= <Modem init # not

a comment>

• All group entries must be surrounded by open- and close-brackets ([ and ]).

The starting [ character that denotes a group name must be in column one. This group name must be specified

before any of the objects in that group. Objects that do not include an associated group name generate an error. The

configuration data is organized into groups as defined in the database property chapter of the

Chassis Management

Controller for PowerEdge VRTX RACADM Command Line Reference Guide

. The following example displays a group

name, object, and the object’s property value:

[cfgLanNetworking] -{group name}

cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121 {object name}

{object value}

• All parameters are specified as "object=value" pairs with no white space between the object, =, or value. White

spaces that are included after the value are ignored. A white space inside a value string remains unmodified. Any

character to the right of the = (for example, a second =, a #, [, ], and so on) is taken as-is. These characters are valid

modem chat script characters.

[cfgLanNetworking] -{group name}

cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121 {object value}

• The .cfg parser ignores an index object entry.

You cannot specify which index is used. If the index already exists, it is either used or the new entry is created in the

first available index for that group.

The racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command places a comment in front of index objects,

allowing you to see the included comments.

NOTE: You may create an indexed group manually using the following command:

racadm config -g <groupname> -o <anchored object> -i <index 1-4>

• The line for an indexed group cannot be deleted from a .cfg file. If you do delete the line with a text editor, RACADM

stops when it parses the configuration file and alert you of the error.

You must remove an indexed object manually using the following command:

racadm config -g <groupname> -o <objectname> -i <index 1-4> ""

NOTE: A NULL string (identified by two " characters) directs the CMC to delete the index for the specified

group.
