Configuring Multiple DRAC 4s
One of the major features of the racadm CLI is the ability to configure a
DRAC 4 using a configuration file. The racadm CLI parses the DRAC 4
configuration file, called racadm.cfg, and then sends individual configuration
requests to one or more DRAC 4s.
This method may be used to configure multiple DRAC 4 database properties.
You must first run the racadm CLI to query a configured DRAC 4 for its
database properties, which are accessed using their object group IDs and
object IDs. The racadm CLI creates the racadm.cfg file from the retrieved
information. You can then configure other cards with the same database
information by exporting this file out to the other DRAC 4s.
NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique DRAC 4 information (such as the
static IP address) that must be modified before configuring other cards.
Configuration File Overview
To use the configuration file, perform the following high-level steps:
1
Get the configuration from the DRAC 4 that contains the appropriate
configuration.
2 Modify the configuration (optional).
3 Push the configuration to a target DRAC 4.
4 Reset the target DRAC 4.
