Quick Reference Guide

Parsing Rules in the iDRAC User’s Guide available
at support.dell.com/manuals.
• -p— This option must be used with the -f option. It
directs config to delete the password entries
contained in the config file -f < filename > after the
configuration is complete.
To apply the password you must remove the
preceding Read-Only marker '#' in the config file
before executing the config -f command.
• -g— The -g < groupName >, or group option, must
be used with the -o option. The < groupName >
specifies the group containing the object that is to
be set.
• -o — The -o < objectName > < Value >, or object
option, must be used with the -g option. This
option specifies the object name that is written
with the string < value >.
• -i — The -i < index >, or index option, is valid only
for indexed groups and can be used to specify a
unique group. The < index > is a decimal integer
from 1 through n, where n can vary from 1 to
maximum number of indexes a particular group
supports. If -i < index > is not specified, a value of 1
is assumed for groups, which are tables that have
multiple entries. The index is specified by the
index value, not a named value.
• -c — The -c, or check option, is used with the
config subcommand and allows the user to parse
the .cfg file to locate syntax errors. If errors are
found, the line number and a short description of
what is incorrect are displayed. Write permission
does not apply to iDRAC. This option is a check
only.
Output This subcommand generates error output for any of the
following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or
other invalid database members.
• RACADM CLI failures.
This subcommand returns an indication of the number of
configuration objects that were written out of the total
objects in the .cfg file.
Examples
• racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o
cfgNicIpAddress 10.35.10.100
Sets the cfgNicIpAddress configuration
parameter (object) to the value 10.35.10.110. This
IP address object is contained in the group
cfgLanNetworking.
• racadm config -f myrac.cfg
Configures or reconfigures iDRAC. The myrac.cfg
file may be created from the getconfig command.
This file may also be edited manually as long as
the parsing rules are followed.
