Reference Guide

NOTE: On certain devices, importing the server configuration profile requires two imports to apply the
configuration to all the devices. The first import of the profile enables hidden devices which are then
configured with a second import. The devices that require two imports are as follows:
● PERC S110 and PERC S130 controllers
● PCI slots in the system that are disabled in the BIOS
Example
Single-object Set of real-time objects
● Configure LCD String.
$ racadm set system.lcd.LCDUserString test
● ○ Configure iDRAC name.
racadm set iDRAC.Info.Name idrac-server100
Single-object Set of staged objects
● Configure several BIOS settings, create a job to initiate application of new values, reboot the system,
then wait for the job to complete.
racadm set BIOS.SysProfileSettings.ProcTurboMode Disabled
racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.ProcVirtualization Enabled
racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.ControlledTurbo Enabled
racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1 –r Graceful
○ Make note of the Job ID output by the jobqueue command
○ After reboot, wait for the job to complete by checking the job status
racadm jobqueue view –i <Job ID>
Multi-object Set of real-time objects
● Configure the iDRAC using a local INI file.
racadm set -f myidrac.ini
● Configure the iDRAC using a local Server Configuration Profile XML file containing only iDRAC settings.
racadm set -f myidrac.xml -t xml
● Configure the iDRAC using a Server Configuration Profile XML file stored on an NFS share containing
only iDRAC settings.
racadm set -f myidrac.xml -t xml -l 10.1.2.3:/myshare
● Import a Server Configuration Profile from a CIFS share, using only the iDRAC component.
racadm set -f file –t xml -u myuser -p mypassword -l //192.168.0/share -c
iDRAC.Embedded.1
Multi-object Set of staged objects
● Configure a systems using a local Server Configuration Profile XML file containing a mix of real-time
and staged objects; reboot the server gracefully with a wait time of ten minutes, leaving the server
powered on after the reboot.
racadm set -f myfile.xml -t xml -b "graceful" -w 600 -s "on"
○ Make note of the Job ID output by the Set command.
○ After reboot, wait for the job to complete by checking the job status.
racadm jobqueue view –i <Job ID>
● Configure a systems using a local Server Configuration Profile XML file containing a mix of real-time
and staged objects; postpone reboot until other operations have been completed.
racadm set -f myfile.xml -t xml -b NoReboot
○ Make note of the Job ID output by the Set command; because of the NoReboot option, the job will
be pending until the server is rebooted
○ Complete other operations, then perform a reboot
○ After reboot, wait for the job to complete by checking the job status
