88 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

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.

NOTE: The .cfg file does not contain user passwords. When the .cfg file is

uploaded to the new CMC, you must re-add all passwords.

Open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in, and type:

racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg

NOTE: Redirecting the CMC configuration to a file using getconfig -f is only

supported with the remote RACADM interface.

Modify the configuration file using a plain-text editor (optional).

Any special formatting characters in the configuration file may corrupt

the RACADM database.

Use the newly created configuration file to modify a target CMC.

At the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

Reset the target CMC that was configured. At the command prompt, type:

racadm reset

The getconfig -f myfile.cfg subcommand (step 1) requests the CMC

configuration for the primary CMC and generates the myfile.cfg file.

If required, you can rename the file or save it to a different location.

You can use the getconfig command to perform the following actions:

• Display all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name

and index)

• Display all configuration properties for a user by user name

The config subcommand loads the information into other CMCs. The Server

Administrator uses the config command to synchronize the user and

password database.
