Configuring Multiple CMCs Using RACADM

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.

1. 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. The .cfg file does not contain

user passwords. When the .cfg file is uploaded to the new CMC, you must re-add all passwords.

2. 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.

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.
