SYSCFG For BMC And Remote Access Controller
Configuration
SYSCFG configures Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) and Remote Access Controller (RAC)
settings.
NOTE: Some of the following options or arguments might not be available on all systems.
NOTE: For options that use text strings such as username, password, hostname, and community
string, using some characters such as <space>, <, >, | , or = on the command line can be
misinterpreted by the command line parser and cause errors.
NOTE: The following options or arguments are also applicable to DRAC 5.
The following tables document valid options, sub-options, and arguments along with a description of the
expected behavior of each option and suboption. Options, sub-options, and arguments are case-
sensitive. All options, sub-options, and pre-defined arguments are lowercase unless explicitly stated
otherwise. Some features that must be noted while reading this section are:
• Unless otherwise specified, all sub-options to options are optional.
• If a sub-option is not specified for an option, all valid sub-option values are displayed for the option. If
sub-options are specified, then only those suboptions are reported.
• Wherever options or sub-options take empty strings as input, the string NULL should be input. For
example, options such as username and suboptions such as commstring and hostname can take an
empty string as input.
