216 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
The getconfig -f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the DRAC 5
configuration and generates the racadm.cfg file. If required, you can
configure the file with another name.
You can use the getconfig command to enable you to perform the following
actions:
• Display all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name
and index)
• Display all configuration properties for a user by user name
The config subcommand loads the information into other DRAC 5s. Use
config to synchronize 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 create this
file, type the following 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. Any formatting confuses the parser, which
may corrupt the racadm database.
Creating a DRAC 5 Configuration File
The DRAC 5 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 5 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 r
acadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg
command, and then edited
NOTE: See "getconfig" on page 249 for information about the getconfig command.
