CLI Guide

• -f <filename> — Enables set to congure the device from a specied le. This option is not supported in
the Firmware RACADM interface.
• --continue — This option is used with –f only and is applicable for only for INI le operation.. If a multi-object
Set is unsuccessful for a <group>, then Set continues with the next <group> in the le. If this option is not
used, then Set stops when it is unsuccessful for a particular <group>. After the unsuccessful <group>, the
remaining <group>s are not congured.
NOTE:
This option is applicable only for INI le operation.
• -u — Species user name of the CIFS remote share from which the le must be imported
• -p — Species password for the remote CIFS share from which the le must be imported.
• -l — Species network share location from where the le must be imported.
• -t — Species the le type to be imported. Valid values are xml and INI.INI les can only be imported from a
local le. XMLimports the Server Conguration Prole in XMLformat either from a local or network share le.
NOTE: To import or export Server Conguration Prole.xml, use the Lifecycle Controller version 1.1 or
later.
Staging and reboot control options
The following options control when and how system reboots are performed when using the –f option. As noted
above, some FQDDs require a system reboot to apply the new values; other FQDDs optionally support immediate
application of new values. If the imported le contains ONLY immediate application-capable FQDDs such as iDRAC,
do NOT use the –b option and the Set command will schedule a real-time job to immediately apply the new values.
NOTE: The –b, -w, –s, and --preview options are applicable only with –f option.
• -b — . Species the type of shutdown for the system after a le import operation completes. The parameters
are
Graceful, Forced, and NoReboot for graceful shutdown, forced shutdown, and no reboot respectively. If
-b is not specied, graceful shutdown is taken as the default except as noted above for les containing new
values for immediate application-capable <FQDD>s.
NOTE
: If the operating system is in use, then the graceful shutdown option may time out within
300 seconds. If this operation is unsuccessful, then retry with the force option.
• -w — Maximum time to wait for the graceful shutdown to occur. The value must be entered in seconds.
Minimum accepted value is 300 seconds and the maximum accepted value is 3600 seconds. The default value is
1800 seconds.
• -s — Power state of the host when the import operation completes. The parameters are "On" for powered ON
and "O" for powered OFF. If this parameter is not specied, power ON is taken as default.
• --preview — Validates the conguration .xml le and view the status.
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
