i or inle
Table 10. SYSCFG General — i or inle
Valid Arguments <lename>
Description Directs the SYSCFG utility to take input from the .ini le. The utility searches the le for
a section heading identical to the utility name. An error is returned if the le or section is
not found. If the section is found, each name/value pair is applied to the system. The
names must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for
the option. If an option is not available on a system and it is specied in a le, 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 used with
other function command options, they are applied in the order in which they appear on
the command line, overriding any previous commands.
Example:
A:>syscfg -i <filename>.ini
ix or inxmlle
Table 11. SYSCFG General — ix or inxmlle
Valid Arguments <lename>
Description
Directs the SYSCFG utility to receive input from the xml le. The utility searches the
BIOS option in the le. An error is returned if the le is not found. The provided option
must match a valid option, and the arguments must be in the proper format for the
option. If an option is not available on a system and it is specied in a le, 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 le.
NOTE: It is applicable only on 12G and later systems.
Example:
A:>syscfg --ix filename.xml
NOTE: You can modify or use the BIOS conguration captured in xml format
from a PowerEdge server for large scale deployment congurations using
RACADM or WS-MAN. For more information on using RACADM and WS-MAN
refer Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) RACADM
Command Line Interface Reference Guide and Dell Lifecycle Controller-
Remote Services Quick Start Guide respectively available at dell.com/support/
manuals.
l or logle
Table 12. SYSCFG General — l or logle
Valid Arguments <lename>
Description Logs the command line output to a time-stamped le. The utility either appends the
information to an existing log le or creates a new le. The log le 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 .
