User's Manual

96 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
is configured. If a modified object represents a new index, the index
is created on the CMC during configuration.
• You cannot specify a desired index in a
.cfg file.
Indexes may be created and deleted. Over time the group may become
fragmented with used and unused indexes. If an index is present, it is
modified. If an index is not present, the first available index is used.
This method allows flexibility when adding indexed entries where you
do not need to make exact index matches between all the CMCs being
managed. New users are added to the first available index. A
.cfg file that
parses and runs correctly on one CMC may not run correctly on another
if all indexes are full and you must add a new user.
•Use the
racresetcfg subcommand to configure both CMCs with
identical properties.
Use the
racresetcfg subcommand to reset the CMC to original
defaults, and then run the
racadm config -f <filename>.cfg
command. Ensure that the .cfg file includes all desired objects, users,
indexes, and other parameters. See the database property chapter of the
Dell Chassis Management Controller Administrator Reference Guide for a
complete list of objects and groups.
CAUTION: Use the racresetcfg subcommand to reset the database and
the CMC Network Interface settings to the original default settings and remove all
users and user configurations. While the root user is available, other users’
settings are also reset to the default settings.
Parsing Rules
• Lines that start with a hash character (#) are treated as comments.
A comment line
must start in column one. A "#" character in any other
column is treated as a # character.
Some modem parameters may include # characters in their strings.
An escape character is not required. You may want to generate a
.cfg from
a
racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command, and then
perform a
racadm config -f <filename>.cfg command to
a different CMC, without adding escape characters.
