Input
• -f — The -f <filename> option directs getconfig to
write the entire iDRAC configuration to a
configuration file. This file can be used for batch
configuration operations using the config
subcommand.
• -g — The -g <groupName> , or group option, can
be used to display the configuration for a single
group. The groupName is the name for the group
used in the racadm.cfg files. If the group is an
indexed group, use the -i option.
• -h — The -h, or help option, displays a list of all
available configuration groups in alphabetical
order. This option is useful when you do not have
exact group names.
• -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.
• -o — The -o <objectname> or object option
specifies the object name that is used in the
query. This option is optional and can be used
with the -g option.
• -u — The -u <username> , or user name option,
can be used to display the configuration for the
specified user. The <username> option is the login
name for the user.
• -v — The -v option displays additional details with
the display of the properties and is used with the -
g option.
Output This subcommand generates error output upon
encountering either of the following:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or
other invalid database members
• RACADM CLI transport failures
