Configuring Multiple DRAC 5 Cards

Using RACADM, you can configure one or more DRAC 5 cards with identical

properties. When you query a specific DRAC 5 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 DRAC 5 cards, you

can configure your controllers with identical properties in a minimal amount

of time.

NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique DRAC 5 information (such as the

static IP address) that must be modified before you export the file to other DRAC 5

cards.

To configure multiple DRAC 5 cards, perform the following procedures:

Use RACADM to query the target DRAC 5 that contains the appropriate

configuration.

NOTE: The generated .cfg file does not contain user passwords.

Open a command prompt and type:

racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg

NOTE: Redirecting the RAC configuration to a file using getconfig -f is only

supported with the local and remote RACADM interfaces.

Modify the configuration file using a simple text editor (optional).

Use the new configuration file to modify a target RAC.

In the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

Reset the target RAC that was configured.

In the command prompt, type:

racadm reset
