• When using remote RACADM to capture the conguration groups into a le, if a key property within a group is not set, the

conguration group is not saved as part of the conguration le. If these conguration groups are needed to be cloned onto

other CMCs, the key property must be set before executing the getconfig -f command. Alternatively, you can manually

enter the missing properties into the conguration le after running the getconfig -fcommand. This is true for all the

RACADM–indexed groups.

This is the list of the indexed groups that exhibit this behavior and their corresponding key properties:

– cfgUserAdmin — cfgUserAdminUserName

– cfgEmailAlert — cfgEmailAlertAddress

– cfgTraps — cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr

– cfgStandardSchema — cfgSSADRoleGroupName

– cfgServerInfo — cfgServerBmcMacAddress

Modifying the CMC IP Address

When you modify the CMC IP address in the conguration le, 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.

Example:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110

cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1

This le is updated as follows:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143

# comment, the rest of this line is ignored

cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1

The command racadm config -f <myfile>.cfg parses the le and identies any errors by line number. A correct le

updates the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from the previous example to conrm the

update.

Use this le to download company-wide changes or to congure new systems over the network with the command, racadm

getconfig -f <myfile>.cfg.

NOTE:

Anchor

is a reserved word and should not be used in the .cfg le.

Conguring Multiple CMCs through RACADM Using Chassis

Conguration Proles

By using chassis conguration proles, you can export the chassis conguration proles as an XML le and import it to another

chassis.

Use RACADM get command for export operation and set command for import operation.You can export chassis proles (XML les)

from CMC to the network share or to a local management station and import chassis proles (XML les) from the network share or

from a local management station.

NOTE: By default, the export is done as clone type. You can use the –—clone to get the clone type prole in XML le.

The import and export operation to and from the network share can be done through local RACADM as well as remote RACADM.

Whereas, the import and export operation to and from the local management can be done only through remote RACADM interface.
