94 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

Configuring SNMP and E-mail Alerting

You can configure the CMC to send SNMP event traps and/or e-mail alerts

when certain events occur on the chassis. For more information and

instructions, see "Configuring SNMP Alerts" on page 379 and "Configuring E-

mail Alerts" on page 385.

You can specify the trap destinations as appropriately-formatted

numeric addresses (IPv6 or IPv4), or Fully-qualified domain names (FQDNs).

Choose a format that is consistent with your networking

technology/infrastructure.

NOTE: The Test TRAP functionality does not detect improper choices based

on current network configuration. For example, using an IPv6 destination in an

IPv4-only environment.

Configuring Multiple CMCs in Multiple Chassis

Using RACADM, you can configure one or more CMCs with identical

properties.

When you query a specific CMC card using its group ID and object ID,

RACADM creates the racadm.cfg configuration file from the retrieved

information. By exporting the file to one or more CMCs, you can configure

your controllers with identical properties in a minimal amount of time.

NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique CMC information (such as the static

IP address) that must be modified before you export the file to other CMCs.

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. For more information see

"Accessing RACADM Remotely" on page 74.
