82 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

Using RACADM to Configure Users

Before You Begin

You can configure up to 16 users in the CMC property database. Before you

manually enable a CMC user, verify if any current users exist. If you are

configuring a new CMC or you ran the RACADM racresetcfg command,

the only current user is root with the password calvin. The

racresetcfg subcommand resets the CMC back to the original defaults.

NOTICE: Use caution when using the racresetcfg command, because it will

reset all configuration parameters to the original defaults. Any previous changes

are lost.

NOTE: Users can be enabled and disabled over time, and disabling a user does not

delete the user from the database. If a user is disabled and then added again, the

user may have a different index number on each chassis.

To verify if a user exists, open a Telnet/SSH text console to the CMC, log in,

and type:

racadm getconfig -u <

username

type the following command once for each index of 1–16:

racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <

index

NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <

myfile.cfg

> to view or

edit the

myfile.cfg

file, which includes all CMC configuration parameters.

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values.

Two objects of interest are:

# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number,

which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use.

If a name appears after the "=," that index is taken by that user name.

NOTE: When you manually enable or disable a user with the RACADM config

subcommand, you must specify the index with the -i option. Observe that the

cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a #

character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to
