Users Guide

NOTE: A NULL string (identified by two " characters) directs the CMC to delete the index for the specified group.

To view the contents of an indexed group, run the following command:

racadm getconfig -g <groupname> -i <index 1-4>

• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the [ ] pair. The following are examples of the current

indexed groups:

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminUserName= <USER_NAME>

• When using remote RACADM to capture the configuration groups into a file, if a key property within a group is not set, the

configuration group is not saved as part of the configuration file. If these configuration groups are needed to be cloned onto

other CMCs, the key property must be set before executing the getconfig -f command. Alternatively, you can manually

enter the missing properties into the configuration file after running the getconfig -f command. This is true for all the

RACADM–indexed groups.

This is the list of the indexed groups that exhibit this behavior and their corresponding key properties:

– cfgUserAdmin — cfgUserAdminUserName

– cfgEmailAlert — cfgEmailAlertAddress

– cfgTraps — cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr

– cfgStandardSchema — cfgSSADRoleGroupName

– cfgServerInfo — cfgServerBmcMacAddress

Modifying the CMC IP Address

When you modify the CMC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary <variable> = <value> entries. Only

the actual variable group’s label with [ and ] remains, including the two <variable> = <value> entries pertaining to the IP

address change.

Example:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110

cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1

This file is updated as follows:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143

# comment, the rest of this line is ignored

cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1

The command racadm config -f <myfile>.cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A correct file

updates the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same

getconfig command from the previous example to confirm the

update.

Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network with the command, racadm

getconfig -f <myfile>.cfg

NOTE:

Anchor

is a reserved word and should not be used in the .cfg file.

Configuring Multiple CMCs through RACADM Using Chassis

Configuration Profiles

By using chassis configuration profiles, you can export the chassis configuration profiles as an XML file and import it to another

chassis.

Use RACADM get command for export operation and set command for import operation.
