Examples
l racadm getconfig -g cfgLanNetworking – Displays all of the configuration parameters (objects) that are contained in the group cfgLanNetworking.
l racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 10.35.10.100 – Sets the cfgNicIpAddress configuration parameter (object) to the value
10.35.10.110. This IP address object is contained in the group cfgLanNetworking.
-s
The -s, or synchronize option, directs config to synchronize the user and password database with Server Administrator (if any user passwords were
modified).
-p
The -p, or password option, directs config to delete the password entries contained in the config file -f <filename> after the configuration is
complete.
-g
The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <groupName> specifies the group containing the object that is to be
set.
-o
The -o <objectName> <Value>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option specifies the object name that is written with the
string <value>.
-i
The -i <index>, or index option, is only valid for indexed groups and can be used to specify a unique group. The <index> is a decimal integer from 1
through 16. The index is specified here by the index value, not a "named" value.
-c
The -c, or check option, is used with the config subcommand and allows the user to parse the .cfg file to find syntax errors. If errors are found, the
line number and a short description of what is incorrect are displayed. Writes do not occur to the DRAC 4. This option is a check only.
NOTE: The -f option is not supported for the serial/telnet console.

Option

Description
-f
The -f <filename>, or filename option, causes getconfig to create the file <filename>. It then reads all the configuration data from the DRAC 4
and places it into the file <filename>. The created file is a format that can be used with the racadm config -f <filename> command.
-p
The -p, or password option, causes getconfig to include password information in the file for all passwords except for the user passwords (which are
stored encrypted and cannot be decrypted). A # cfgUserAdmPassword line is displayed as an indication that the password is present, but the
password text is not displayed.
-g
The -g <groupName>, or group option, can be used to display the configuration for a single group. The groupName is the name for the group used
in the racadm.cfg files. If the group is an indexed group, use the -i option.
-h
The -h, or help option, displays a list of all available configuration groups that you can use. This option is useful when you do not remember exact
group names.
-i
The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and can be used to specify a unique group. The <index> is a decimal integer from 1
through 16. If -i <index> is not specified, a value of 1 is assumed for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The index is specified by
the index value, not a "named" value.
-u
The -u <username>, or user name option, can be used to display the configuration for the specified user. The <username> option is the log in
user name for the user.
