Reference Guide

The --preview option provides the Job ID to verify the status of the le preview operation. The Job ID can be

tracked by running the racadm jobqueue view –I <JID> command.

NOTE:

• The --preview option does not restart the system.

• The-b,-w options cannot be included with the --preview option.

• A scheduled job or pending conguration should not be running while using the --preview

option.

• -c — Species the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the congurations

should be imported. If this option is not specied, conguration related to all the components are imported.

NOTE: To use the -c or --preview option, the minimum Lifecycle Controller version required is 1.2.

NOTE: On certain devices, importing the server conguration prole requires two imports to apply the

conguration to all the devices. The rst import of the prole enables hidden devices which are then

congured 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

• Congure LCD String.

$ racadm set system.lcd.LCDUserString test

• • Congure iDRAC name.

racadm set iDRAC.Info.Name idrac-server100

Single-object Set of staged objects

• Congure 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

• Congure the iDRAC using a local INI le.

racadm set -f myidrac.ini

• Congure the iDRAC using a local Server Conguration Prole XML le containing only iDRAC settings.

racadm set -f myidrac.xml -t xml

• Congure the iDRAC using a Server Conguration Prole XML le 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 Conguration Prole 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

• Congure a systems using a local Server Conguration Prole XML le 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.
