Users Guide

NOTE: Redirecting the iDRAC conguration to a le using get -f is only supported with the local and remote
RACADM interfaces.
NOTE: The generated conguration le does not contain user passwords.
The get command displays all conguration properties in a group (specied by group name and index) and all conguration properties
for a user.
2 Modify the conguration le using a text editor, if required.
NOTE: It is recommended that you edit this le with a simple text editor. The RACADM utility uses an ASCII text parser.
Any formatting confuses the parser, which may corrupt the RACADM database.
3 On the target iDRAC, use the following command to modify the settings:
racadm set -f <file_name>.xml -t xml
This loads the information into the other iDRAC. You can use set command to synchronize the user and password database with
Server Administrator.
4 Reset the target iDRAC using the command: racadm racreset
Creating an iDRAC conguration le
The conguration le can be:
• Created.
• Obtained using racadm get -f <file_name>.xml -t xml command.
• Obtained using racadm get -f <file_name>.xml -t xml and then edited.
For information about the get command, see the iDRAC RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/
idracmanuals.
The conguration le is rst parsed to verify that valid group and object names are present and the basic syntax rules are followed. Errors
are agged with the line number where the error was detected, and a message explains the problem. The entire le is parsed for
correctness and all errors are displayed. Write commands are not transmitted to iDRAC if an error is found in the le. You must correct all
errors before using the le to congure iDRAC.
CAUTION
: Use the racresetcfg command to reset the database and the iDRAC NIC settings to the default settings and
remove all users and user congurations. While the root user is available, other user settings are also reset to the default settings.
Disabling access to modify iDRAC conguration
settings on host system
You can disable access to modify the iDRAC conguration settings through Local RACADM or iDRAC Settings utility. However, you can
view these conguration settings. To do this:
1 In iDRAC Web interface, go to Overview > iDRAC Settings > Network > Services.
2 Select one or both of the following:
• Disable the iDRAC Local Conguration using iDRAC Settings — Disables access to modify the conguration settings in iDRAC
Settings utility.
• Disable the iDRAC Local Conguration using RACADM — Disables access to modify the conguration settings in Local
RACADM.
3 Click Apply.
NOTE
: If access is disabled, you cannot use Server Administrator or IPMITool to perform iDRAC congurations.
However, you can use IPMI Over LAN.
