Users Guide

You can import chassis conguration proles from network share through remote RACADM interface.

1. To import the chassis conguration proles from CIFS network share, type the following:

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

xx.xx.xx.xx/PATH –u USERNAME –p PASSWORD

2. To import the chassis conguration proles from NFS network share, type the following:

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

xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH

You can import chassis conguration proles from local management station through remote RACADM interface.

1. To export the chassis conguration proles as clone.xml le, 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 le of chassis conguration proles.

An XML le contains the following properties:

• System Conguration, which is the parent node.

• component, which is the primary child node.

• Attributes, which contains name and value. You can edit these elds. For example, you can edit the Asset Tag value as follows:

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

Example of an XML le 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>

Conguring multiple CMCs using RACADM

Using RACADM, you can congure one or more CMCs with identical properties.

When you query a specic CMC card using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the racadm.cfg conguration le from

the retrieved information. By exporting the le to one or more CMCs, you can congure your controllers with identical properties in a

minimal amount of time.

NOTE: Some conguration les contain unique CMC information (such as the static IP address) that must be modied

before you export the le to other CMCs.

1. Use RACADM to query the target CMC that contains the desired conguration.

NOTE: The generated conguration le is myle.cfg. You can rename the le. The .cfg le does not contain user

passwords. When the .cfg le 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 conguration to a le using getconfig -f is only supported with the remote

RACADM interface.
