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.
● -g — The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <group>
specifies the group containing the object that is to be set.
● -o — The -o <objectName>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option
specifies the object name that is written with the string
● <value> — Value to set to configuration object.
● -i — The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and can be used to specify
a unique group (used with -g and -o). 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.
'nx' is allowed for servers.
● -c — This option performs validation but do not configure.
● -m — Module must be one of the following values:
○ server-<n> — where n = 1–16
○ server-<nx> — where n = 1–8; x = a to d (lower case)
NOTE:
Only available for cfgRemoteHosts, cfgRacTuning, cfgSerial,
cfgSessionManagement, cfgLanNetworking or cfgIPv6LanNetworking.
