Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 99
3
Modify the configuration file using a plain-text editor (optional).
Any special formatting characters in the configuration file may corrupt
the RACADM database.
4
Use the newly created configuration file to modify a target CMC.
At the command prompt, type:
racadm config -f myfile.cfg
5
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 active 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.
Creating a CMC Configuration File
The CMC configuration file, <filename>.cfg, is used with the racadm
config -f <filename>.cfg command to create a simple text file.
The command allows you to build a configuration file (similar to a .ini file)
and configure the CMC from this file.
You may use any file name, and the file does not require a .cfg extension
(although it is referred to by that designation in this subsection).
NOTE: For more information about the getconfig subcommand, see the RACADM
Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC.
