Advanced Configuration of the DRAC 5 89
If you type racadm getconfig -f <myexample>.cfg , the
command builds a
.cfg file for the current DRAC 5 configuration. This
configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for
your unique
.cfg file.
Modifying the DRAC 5 IP Address
When you modify the DRAC 5 IP address in the configuration file, remove
all unnecessary <variable>=value entries. Only the actual variable group’s
label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two <variable>=value entries
pertaining to the IP address change.
For example:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110
cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1
This file will be updated as follows:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143
# comment, the rest of this line is ignored
cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1
The command racadm config -f myfile.cfg parses the file and identifies any
errors by line number. A correct file will update the proper entries.
Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from the previous
example to confirm the update.
