Users Guide

White spaces that are included after the value are ignored. A white space inside a value string remains
unmodified. Any character to the right of the '=' is taken as is (for example, a second '=', or a '#', '[', ']',
and so forth). These characters are valid modem chat script characters.
See the example in the previous bullet.
The racadm getconfig -f <filename> .cfg command places a comment in front of index
objects, allowing the user to see the included comments.
To view the contents of an indexed group, use the following command:
racadm getconfig -g <groupName> -i <index 1-16>
• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the "[ ]" pair. The following are
examples of the current indexed groups:
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminIndex=11
If you type racadm getconfig -f < myexample >.cfg, the command builds a .cfg file for the
current iDRAC configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point
for your unique . cfg file.
Modifying the iDRAC IP address
When you modify the iDRAC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary
<variable>=value entries. Only the actual variable group’s label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two
<variable>=value entries pertaining to the IP address change.
For example:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110
cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1
This file is updated as follows:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143
