302 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
Configuring Multiple iDRAC6s
Using a configuration file, you can configure other iDRAC6s with identical
properties. Follow these steps to configure multiple iDRAC6s:
1
Create the configuration file from iDRAC6 settings you want to replicate
to the others. Enter the following command:
racadm -r <remote iDRAC6 IP> -u <user> -p
<password> getconfig -f <filename>
where < filename > is the name of a file to save iDRAC6 properties, such a
myconfig.cfg .
The below example shows how you can use remote RACADM commands
to configure multiple iDRAC6s. Create a batch file on the management
station and call remote racadm commands from the batch file.
For example:
racadm -r <Server IP 1> -u <user> -p <password>
config -f myconfig.cfg
racadm -r <Server IP 2> -u <user> -p <password>
config -f myconfig.cfg
...
See "Creating an iDRAC6 Configuration File" on page 297 for more
information.
NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique iDRAC6 information (such as
the static IP address) that must be modified before you export the file to other
iDRAC6s.
2 Edit the configuration file you created in the previous step and remove or
comment-out any settings you
do not want to replicate.
3 Copy the edited configuration file to a network drive where it is accessible
to each managed server whose iDRAC6 you want to configure.
4 For each iDRAC6 you want to configure:
a Log in to the managed server and start a command prompt.
b If you want to reconfigure iDRAC6 from the default settings, enter
the following command:
