Reference Guide

• -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. If

configuration through file is unsuccessful for a group, then

configuration continues with the next group in the file. If this

option is not used, then configuration stops when it is

unsuccessful for a particular group. After the unsuccessful

group, the rest of the groups are not configured.

• -u — Specifies user name of the remote share from where

the file must be imported.

• -p — Specifies password for the remote share from where

the file must be imported.

• -l — Specifies network share location from where the file

must be imported.

• -t — Specifies the file type that must be imported. Valid

values are xml and ini. These values are case-insensitive. ini

imports the legacy configuration file. The ini file cannot be

imported from a remote share. If -t is not specified, the ini

file format (default) is imported.

NOTE: To import or export .xml config files, Lifecycle

Controller version 1.1 or later is required.

• -b — Specifies the type of shutdown for the host after the

import operation completes. The parameters are Graceful

for graceful and Forced for forced shutdown. If this

parameter is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the

default.

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 — Validate the configuration .xml file and view

the status.

The --preview option includes the Job ID that is used to

verify the status of the file configuration before applying. The

Job ID can be tracked by running the racadm jobqueue

view –I <JID>

command.
