• 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.-->

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.

3 Modify the conguration le using a plain-text editor (optional). Any special formatting characters in the conguration le may corrupt

the RACADM database.

4 Use the newly created conguration le to modify a target CMC. At the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

5 Reset the target CMC that was congured. At the command prompt, type:

racadm reset

The getconfig -f myfile.cfg subcommand requests the CMC conguration for the CMC and generates the myle.cfg le. If

required, you can rename the le or save it to a dierent location.

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

• Display all conguration properties in a group (specied by group name and index).

• Display all conguration properties for a user by user name.
