Database Objects With Get and Set
Commands
This chapter provides the database groups and objects that must be used with the get or set subcommands. When using the
objects, they must begin with FQDD or FQDD alias.
The set operations for iDRAC, Lifecycle Controller and system objects do not require server restart. However, the set
operations for NIC and BIOS objects are staged and job creation and server restart is required to apply and commit the pending
values.
NOTE:
While entering an attribute value that is more than one word, ensure that you enclose the attribute value within single
quotation marks in the set command.
Example:
racadm>>set system.thermalsettings.ThermalProfile 'Maximum performance'
racadm set system.thermalsettings.ThermalProfile 'Maximum performance'
[Key=system.Embedded.1#ThermalSettings.1]
Object value modified successfully
The staged configuration has the associated pending value in the output of the get operation, after it is configured
successfully.
The object values in the BIOS and NIC groups are case-sensitive.
For NIC objects, the definition of the key format is: Key = <Device Class>.<Locator>.<Device Number><Port
Number>[-<Partition Number>]#GroupName where,
Device Class: NIC
Locator: Integrated, Slot, Mezzanine or Embedded
Example:
$racadm get NIC.NICConfig
NIC.NICConfig.1 [Key=NIC.Integrated.1-1#NICConfig]
NIC.NICConfig.2 [Key=NIC.Integrated.1-2#NICConfig]
NIC.NICConfig.3 [Key=NIC.Integrated.1-3#NICConfig]
NIC.NICConfig.4 [Key=NIC.Integrated.1-4#NICConfig]
The link between the NIC instance and the corresponding key varies from system to system depending on the system
configuration.
The command racadm help provides a list of all the attributes along with the description.
To view the help details of group level, enter the following command: racadm help <group name>
Example:
$racadm help NIC.NICConfig
NICConfig -- (null)
These are the objects supported by the group
