CLI Guide

Table 13. Config (continued)
NOTE: When the –f option is specified and configuration of an attribute fails, then
configuration of other attributes in that group is skipped.
• -p— This option must be used with the -f option. It directs config to delete the password entries contained
in the config file -f <filename> after the configuration is complete.
To apply the password, you must remove the preceding Read-Only marker '#' in the config file before
executing the config -f command.
• -g— The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <groupName> specifies
the group containing the object that is to be set.
• -o — The -o <objectName> <Value>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option specifies
the object name that is written with the string <value>.
• -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.
• -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.
