2. To import the chassis configuration profiles from NFS network share, type the following:

racadm set –f clone.xml –t xml –l xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH

You can import chassis configuration profiles from network share through remote RACADM interface.

Parsing Rules

You can manually edit properties of an exported XML file of chassis configuration profiles.

An XML file contains the following properties:

• System Configuration, which is the parent node.

• component, which is the primary child node.

• Attributes, which contains name and value. You can edit these fields. For example, you can edit the Asset Tag value as follows:

<Attribute Name="ChassisInfo.1#AssetTag">xxxxxx</Attribute>

Example of an XML file is as follows:

<SystemConfiguration Model="PowerEdge M1000e

"ServiceTag="NOBLE13"

TimeStamp="Tue Apr 7 14:17:48 2015" ExportMode="2">

<!--Exported configuration may contain commented attributes. Attributes may be commented due

to dependency,

destructive nature, preserving server identity or for security reasons.-->

….

</Component>

</SystemConfiguration>

Configuring multiple CMCs using RACADM

Using RACADM, you can configure one or more CMCs with identical properties.

When you query a specific CMC card using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the racadm.cfg configuration file from the

retrieved information. By exporting the file to one or more CMCs, you can configure your controllers with identical properties in a minimal

amount of time.

NOTE:

Some configuration files contain unique CMC information (such as the static IP address) that must be modified

before you export the file to other CMCs.
