User's Manual

Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 81

CAUTION: Use caution when using the racresetcfg command, because it

will reset

all

configuration parameters to the original defaults. Any previous

changes are lost.

NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time, and disabling a user does not

delete the user from the database.

To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in,

and type:

racadm getconfig -u <

username

type the following command once for each index of 1–16:

racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <

index

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values.

Two objects of interest are:

# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number,

which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use.

If a name appears after the "=," that index is taken by that user name.

NOTE: When you manually enable or disable a user with the RACADM config

subcommand, you must specify the index with the -i option. Observe that the

cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a #

character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to

specify any number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified.

A new user is added to the first available index. This behavior allows more flexibility

in configuring a second CMC with the same settings as the main CMC.

Adding a CMC User

To add a new user to the CMC configuration, you can use a few basic

commands. Perform the following procedures:

Set the user name.

Set the password.
