CLI Guide

NOTE: This subcommand will be deprecated in the later versions. For information about congurations,
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 conguration le retrieved using remote RACADM is not interoperable. For the cong racadm -r
192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:\config.txt command, use the conguration le
retrieved from the same interface. For example, for the cong
racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p
xxx config -f c:\config.txt , use the le generated from getcong 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 cong to read the contents of the le specied by <filename>
and congure iDRAC. The le must contain data in the format specied 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 conguration through le is unsuccessful for a group,
then conguration continues with the next group in the le. If this option is not used, then conguration stops
when it is unsuccessful for a particular group. After the unsuccessful group, the rest of the groups are not
congured.
• -p — This option must be used with the -f option. It directs cong to delete the password entries contained in
the cong le -f <filename> after the conguration is complete.
To apply the password, you must remove the preceding Read-Only marker '#' in the cong le before executing
the
config -f command.
• -g — The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <group> species the
group containing the object that is to be set.
• -o — The -o <objectName>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option species the
object name that is written with the string
• <value> — Value to set to conguration object.
• -i — The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and can be used to specify a unique
group (used with -g and -o). The <index> is a decimal integer from 1 through n, where n can vary from 1 to
maximum number of indexes a particular group supports. If -i <index> is not specied, a value of 1 is
assumed for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The index is specied by the index value, not a
named value.
'nx' is allowed for servers.
• -c — This option performs validation but do not congure.
Output
This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index or other invalid database members.
• If the RACADM command-line interface is unsuccessful.
Examples
• To congure a single property of a group:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate
• Modify a user password:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 newpassword
• Congure a RAC from a conguration le:
racadm config -f config.txt
• Congure a RAC from a conguration le and continue if a group fails to get congured:
racadm set -f config.txt --continue
