Users Guide

The getconfig command displays all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name and index) and all
configuration properties for a user by user name.
2. Modify the configuration file using a simple text editor (optional).
NOTE: It is recommended that you edit this file with a simple text editor. The RACADM utility uses an ASCII text parser.
Any formatting confuses the parser, which may corrupt the RACADM database.
3.
Use the new configuration file to modify the target iDRAC using the command: racadm config -f myfile.cfg
This loads the information into the other iDRAC. You can use config subcommand to synchronize the user and password
database with Server Administrator.
4. Reset the target iDRAC using the command: racadm racreset
Creating an iDRAC Configuration File
The configuration file .cfg can be:
● Created
● Obtained from racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command or racadm get -f <filename>.cfg
● Obtained from racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command or racadm get -f <filename>.cfg, and
then edited
For information about the getconfig and get commands, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference
Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals .
The .cfg file is first parsed to verify that valid group and object names are present and the basic syntax rules are being followed.
Errors are flagged with the line number that detected the error, and a message explains the problem. The entire file is parsed
for correctness, and all errors are displayed. Write commands are not transmitted to iDRAC if an error is found in the .cfg file.
The user must correct all errors before using the file to configure iDRAC. Use the -c option in the config subcommand, which
verifies the syntax and does not perform a write operation to iDRAC.
Use the following guidelines when you create a .cfg file:
● If the parser encounters an indexed group, the index of the group is used as the anchor. Any modifications to the objects
within the indexed group is also associated with the index value.
For example:
○ If you have used the getconfig command:
[cfgUserAdmin]
# cfgUserAdminIndex=11
cfgUserAdminUserName=
# cfgUserAdminPassword=******** (Write-Only)
cfgUserAdminEnable=0
cfgUserAdminPrivilege=0x00000000
cfgUserAdminIpmiLanPrivilege=15
cfgUserAdminIpmiSerialPrivilege=15
cfgUserAdminSolEnable=0
○ If you have used the get command:
[idrac.users.16]
Enable=Disabled
IpmiLanPrivilege=15
IpmiSerialPrivilege=15
!!Password=******** (Write-Only)
Privilege=0x0
SNMPv3AuthenticationType=SHA
SNMPv3Enable=Disabled
SNMPv3PrivacyType=AES
SolEnable=Disabled
UserName=
● The indexes are read-only and cannot be modified. Objects of the indexed group are bound to the index under which they
are listed and any valid configuration to the object value is applicable only to that particular index.
● A predefined set of indexes are available for each indexed group. For more information, see the iDRAC8 RACADM Command
Line Interface Reference Guide available at dell.com/support/manuals .
