CLI Guide

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.
• -c — The -c, or check option, is used with the config subcommand and allows the user to parse the .cfg file
to locate syntax errors. If issues are found, the line number and a short description about the issue is displayed.
This option is a check-only.
Output This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or other invalid database members.
• RACADM CLI failures.
This subcommand returns an indication of the number of configuration objects that were written out of the total
objects in the .cfg file.
Examples • racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgNicIpAddress 192.168.0.5.
Sets the cfgNicIpAddress configuration parameter (object) to the value 192.168.0.5. This IP address object is
contained in the cfgLanNetworking group.
• racadm config -f myrac.cfg.
Configures or reconfigures CMC. The myrac.cfg file may be created from the getconfig command. This file
may also be edited manually as long as the parsing rules are followed.
NOTE: The myrac.cfg file does not contain passwords. To include passwords in the file, you must
enter them manually. If you want to remove password information from the myrac.cfg file during
configuration, use the -p option.
