Reference Guide

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 configuration should not be running while using the --preview

option.

•

-c — Specifies the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the

configurations should be imported. If this option is not specified, configuration 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 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"
