298 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
• Obtained from iDRAC6 with the RACADM getconfig subcommand and
then edited
To obtain a configuration file with the RACADM getconfig command,
enter the following command:
racadm -r <remote iDRAC6 IP> -u <user> -p <password>
getconfig -f myconfig.cfg
This command creates the file myconfig.cfg in the current directory.
Configuration File Syntax
NOTE: Edit the configuration file with a plain text editor, such as Notepad on
Windows or vi on Linux. The racadm utility parses ASCII text only. Any formatting
confuses the parser and may corrupt iDRAC6 database.
This section describes the format of the configuration file.
• Lines that start with # are comments.
A comment
must start in the first column of the line. A # character in any
other column is treated as a normal # character.
Example :
#
# This is a comment
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminPrivilege=4
• Group entries must be surrounded by [ and ] characters.
The starting
[ character denoting a group name must start in column one.
This group name
must be specified before any of the objects in that group.
Objects that do not include an associated group name generate an error.
The configuration data is organized into groups as defined in
the
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC and CMC
available on the Dell Support website at dell.com/support/manuals
.
The following example displays a group name, object, and the object’s
property value.
