Users Guide

You can import chassis configuration profiles from local management station through remote RACADM

interface.

1. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file, type the following:

racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC set –f clone.xml –t xml

Parsing Rules

You can manually edit properties of an exported XML file of chassis configuration profiles.

An XML file contains the following properties:

• System Configuration, which is the parent node.

• component, which is the primary child node.

• Attributes, which contains name and value. You can edit these fields. For example, you can edit the

Asset Tag value as follows:

<Attribute Name="ChassisInfo.1#AssetTag">xxxxxx</Attribute>

Example of an XML file is as follows:

<SystemConfiguration Model="PowerEdge M1000e

"ServiceTag="NOBLE13"

TimeStamp="Tue Apr 7 14:17:48 2015" ExportMode="2">

<!--Exported configuration may contain commented attributes. Attributes may be

commented due to dependency,

destructive nature, preserving server identity or for security reasons.-->

….

</Component>

</SystemConfiguration>

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
