Quick Reference Guide
• -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.
NOTE: The myrac.cfg file does not contain passwords. To include passwords in the file, you
must enter them manually. If you want to remove password information from the myrac.cfg file
during configuration, use the -p option.
