Quick Reference Guide

option is not used, then configuration stops when it is unsuccessful for a particular group.
After the unsuccessful group, the rest of the groups are not configured.
• -p— This option must be used with the -f option. It directs config to delete the password
entries contained in the config file
-f < file name > after the configuration is complete.
To apply the password you must remove the preceding Read-Only marker '#' in the config
file before executing the config -f command.
• -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 valid only for indexed groups and can be used to
specify a unique group. The < index > is a decimal integer from 1 through n, where n can
vary from 1 to maximum number of indexes a particular group supports. 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.
• -c — The
-c, or check option, is used with the config subcommand and allows the user to
parse the .cfg file to locate syntax errors. If errors are found, the line number and a short
description of what is incorrect are displayed. Write permission does not apply to iDRAC.
This option is a check only.
• For CMC only:
-m — Module must be one of the following values:
– server-n — where n = 1 to 16
– server-nx— where n = 1 to 8; x = a to d (lower case)
NOTE:
Only available for cfgRemoteHosts, cfgRacTuning, cfgSerial,
cfgSessionManagement, cfgLanNetworking, or cfgIPv6LanNetworking.
Output This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members.
• RACADM CLI is unsuccessful.
Examples
• To set the cfgNicIpAddress
configuration parameter (object) to the value 10.35.10.110. This
IP address object is contained in the group cfgLanNetworking.
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress
10.35.10.100
• To configure or reconfigure iDRAC. The myrac.cfg file may be created from the getconfig
command. This file may also be edited manually as long as the parsing rules are followed.
racadm config -f myrac.cfg
NOTE:
The myrac.cfg file does not contain passwords. To include passwords in the
file, you must enter them manually. If you want to remove password information from
the myrac.cfg file during configuration, use the -p option.
For CMC only:
• To configure the single property of a group:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate
• To modify a user password:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3
newpassword
• To configure the single property of a group for a particular server:
racadm config -g cfgSessionManagement -o
cfgSsnMgtWebServerTimeout newvalue -m server-n
