Synopsis
• racadm config -g <group> -o <object> <value>
• racadm config -g <group> -o <object> -i <index> <value>
• racadm config -f <filename> -o [-c] [-p] [-continue]
NOTE:
• The configuration file retrieved using remote RACADM is not interoperable. For
the config racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:
\config.txt command, use the configuration file retrieved from the same
interface. For example, for the config racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p
xxx config -f c:\config.txt
, use the file generated from getconfig
command racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx getconfig -f c:
\config.txt.
• -f is only applicable for remote RACADM.
racadm config -g <group> -o <object> <value> [-m <module>]
Input
• -f — The -f <filename> option causes config to read the contents of the file
specified by <filename> and configure CMC. The file must contain data in the
format specified in the section Parsing Rules in the
CMC User’s Guide available at
www.dell.com/esmmanuals.
NOTE: The -f option is not supported for the Serial or Telnet or SSH console.
• -continue — This option is used with -f option only. If configuration through file is
unsuccessful for a group, then configuration continues with the next group in the
file. If this option is not used, then configuration stops when it is unsuccessful for a
particular group. After the unsuccessful group, the rest of the groups are not
configured.
• -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.
