Configuring Multiple DRAC 4s
One of the major features of the racadm CLI is the ability to configure a DRAC 4 using a configuration file. The racadm CLI parses the DRAC 4 configuration file,
called racadm.cfg, and then sends individual configuration requests to one or more DRAC 4s.
This method may be used to configure multiple DRAC 4 database properties. You must first run the racadm CLI to query a configured DRAC 4 for its database
properties, which are accessed using their object group IDs and object IDs. The racadm CLI creates the racadm.cfg file from the retrieved information. You can
then configure other cards with the same database information by exporting this file out to the other DRAC 4s.

Configuration File Overview
To use the configuration file, perform the following high-level steps:

1. Get the configuration from the DRAC 4 that contains the appropriate configuration.

2. Modify the configuration (optional).

3. Push the configuration to a target DRAC 4.

4. Reset the target DRAC 4.
The getconfig –f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the configuration of the DRAC 4 and generates a racadm.cfg file (you can choose any name for this file).
Other options for the getconfig command enable you to perform such actions as:
