Quick Reference Guide

specified in a file, the utility ignores the option. If any errors are found in the
format of the names or values, an error is returned and the options are not
applied to the system. If this option is dependent on any other option, they are
applied in the order in which they appear in the xml file.
NOTE: It is applicable only on 12G and later systems.
Example:
A:>syscfg --ix filename.xml
NOTE: You can modify or use the BIOS configuration captured in xml
format from a PowerEdge 12G for large scale 12G deployment
configurations using RACADM or WS-MAN. For more information on using
RACADM and WS-MAN refer RACADM Command Line Reference Guide
for iDRAC7 and CMC and Dell Lifecycle Controller-Remote Services Quick
Start Guide respectively available at dell.com/support/manuals.

Sub-Options NA
Valid Arguments < filename >
Description Logs the command line output to a time-stamped file. The utility either appends
the information to an existing log file or creates a new file. The log file contains
the same information as the standard output, plus timestamp information. Users
should use this option instead of redirection for task diagnosis. For more
information, see Log Files .
Example:
A:>syscfg -l logfile --option=<filename>
-o or --outfile
Options
-o or --outfile
Sub-Options NA
Valid Arguments < filename >
Description Prints all replicable options to the specified filename. The format of the output
is in the .ini format, with the utility name as the section header. On PowerEdge
11G systems, if a file with the same name already exists, the information is
appended to the file, but on PowerEdge 12G it overwrites the existing file. If this
option is used with other function commands, the commands are applied in the
order in which they appear. This option captures replicable BMC and BIOS
options.
Example:
A:>syscfg -o <filename>.ini
