172 Using the Serial and racadm Commands
The getconfig -f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the configuration of the
DRAC 4 and generates a racadm.cfg file (you can choose any name for this file).
NOTE: The generated .cfg file does not contain user passwords.
Other options for the getconfig command enable you to perform such
actions as:
• Displaying all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name
and index)
• Displaying all configuration properties for a user by user name
The config subcommand loads the information into other DRAC 4s. Other
options for config enable you to perform such actions as:
• Removing passwords in the racadm.cfg file used to configure the card
• Synchronizing the user and password database with Server Administrator
The initial configuration file, racadm.cfg, is named by the user. In the
following example, the configuration file is named myfile.cfg. To obtain this
file, type the following command at the command prompt:
racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg
NOTICE: It is recommended that you edit this file with a simple text editor; the
racadm utility uses an ASCII text parser, and any formatting confuses the parser
and might corrupt the racadm database.
Creating a DRAC 4 Configuration File
The DRAC 4 configuration file <filename>.cfg is used with the racadm
config
-f <filename> .cfg command. The configuration file is a simple text file
that allows the user to build a configuration file (similar to an .ini file) and
configure the DRAC 4 from this file. You may use any file name, and the file
does not require a .cfg extension (although it is referred to by that designation
in this subsection). The .cfg file can be:
•Created
• Obtained from a
racadm getconfig - f <filename> .cfg command
• Obtained from a
racadm getconfig - f <filename> .cfg command, and then
edited
NOTE: See "config/getconfig" for information about the getconfig command.
