• racadm set -f <filename> -t xml -u <username> -p <password> -l <CIFS

share> -c <FQDD>[,<FQDD>*]

Input

• <FQDD Alias>

Examples for FQDDs:

– System.Power

– System.Power.Supply

– System.Location

– LifecycleController.LCAttributes

– System.LCD

– iDRAC.Serial

• <group> — Specifies the group containing the object that must be written.

• <object> — Specifies the object name of the value that must be written.

• <index> — This option is specified where FQDD Aliases or Groups must be indexed.

• -f <filename> — Enables set to configure the device from a specified file. 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 file operation.. If a multi-

object Set is unsuccessful for a <group>, then Set continues with the next <group> in the file. 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 configured.

NOTE:

This option is applicable only for INI file operation.

• -u — Specifies user name of the CIFS remote share from which the file must be imported

• -p — Specifies password for the remote CIFS share from which the file must be imported.

• -l — Specifies network share location from where the file must be imported.

• -t — Specifies the file type to be imported. Valid values are xml and INI.INI files can only be imported from

a local file. XMLimports the Server Configuration Profile in XMLformat either from a local or network share

file.

NOTE: To import or export Server Configuration Profile.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 file 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 — . Specifies the type of shutdown for the system after a file import operation completes. The

parameters are Graceful, Forced, and NoReboot for graceful shutdown, forced shutdown, and no

reboot respectively. If -b is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the default except as noted above

for files 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 "Off" for powered OFF. If this parameter is not specified, power ON is taken as default.

• --preview — Validates the configuration .xml file and view the status.

The --preview option provides the Job ID to verify the status of the file preview operation. The Job ID

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