CLI Guide

• -c — The -c or check option, is used with the cong subcommand and allows the user to parse
the .cfg le to locate syntax errors. If issues are found, the line number and a short description
about the issue is displayed. This option is a check-only.
Output This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members.
• RACADM CLI failures.
This subcommand returns an indication of the number of conguration objects that were written out
of the total objects in the .cfg le.
Examples
• racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 192.168.0.1.
Sets the cfgNicIpAddress conguration parameter (object) to the value 192.168.0.1. This IP
address object is contained in the cfgLanNetworking group.
• racadm config -f myrac.cfg.
Congures or recongures CMC. The myrac.cfg le may be created from the getcong
command. This le may also be edited manually as long as the parsing rules are followed.
NOTE: The myrac.cfg le does not contain passwords. To include passwords in the le, you
must enter them manually. If you want to remove password information from the myrac.cfg
le during conguration, use the -p option.
