Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 267
Without options, the RACADM command displays general use information.
To display the RACADM subcommand list, enter:
racadm help
or
racadm getconfig -h
The subcommand list includes all RACADM commands that are supported
by iDRAC6.
To get help for a subcommand, enter:
racadm help <subcommand>
The command displays the syntax and command-line options for the
subcommand.
Using the RACADM Utility to Configure iDRAC6
This section describes how to use RACADM to perform various iDRAC6
configuration tasks.
Displaying Current iDRAC6 Settings
The RACADM getconfig subcommand retrieves current configuration
settings from iDRAC6. The configuration values are organized into groups
containing one or more objects, and the objects have values.
See
the iDRAC6 Administrator Reference Guide available on the Dell Support website
at support.dell.com/manuals
for a complete description of the groups and
objects.
To display a list of all iDRAC6 groups, enter this command:
racadm getconfig -h
To display the objects and values for a particular group, enter this command:
racadm getconfig -g <group>
For example, to display a list of all cfgLanNetworking group object settings,
enter the following command:
racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking
