config
Description
Allows you to set iDRAC configuration parameters individually or to batch them as part of a configuration
file and then modify iDRAC configuration properties. If the data is different, the iDRAC object is written
with a new value.
NOTE: This subcommand will be deprecated in the later versions. For information about configurations,
see the set subcommand.
Synopsis
● racadm config -g <group> -o <object> <value>
●
racadm config -g <group> -o <object> -i <index> <value>
● racadm config -f <filename> -o [-c] [-p] [-continue]
NOTE:
● The configuration file retrieved using remote RACADM is not interoperable. For the config racadm
-r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:\config.txt command, use the
configuration file retrieved from the same interface. For example, for the config racadm -r
192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:\config.txt , use the file generated
from getconfig command racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx getconfig -f c:
\config.txt.
● -f is only applicable for remote RACADM.
Input
● -f — The -f <filename> option causes config to read the contents of the file specified by
<filename> and configure iDRAC. The file must contain data in the format specified in the section
Parsing Rules in the iDRAC User’s Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals.
NOTE: The -f option is not supported for the Serial or Telnet or SSH console.
● -continue — This option is used with -f option only. If configuration through file is unsuccessful for
a group, then configuration continues with the next group in the file. If this option is not used, then
configuration stops when it is unsuccessful for a particular group. After the unsuccessful group, the
rest of the groups are not configured.
● -p — This option must be used with the -f option. It directs config to delete the password entries
contained in the config file -f <filename> after the configuration is complete.
