Example
None
config
Description Allows you to set iDRAC configuration parameters individually or to batch them as part of a
configuration file. If the data is different, that iDRAC object is written with the new value.
Synopsis
racadm config [-c|-p] -f <filename>
racadm config -g <groupName> -o <objectName> [-i
<
index>] <Value>
NOTE: The configuration file retrieved using remote racadm and local racadm are not
interoperable. For the config -f < file name > command, use the configuration file retrieved from
the same interface. For example, for local racadm config -f < file name >, use the file generated
from the local racadm command getconfig -f < file name >.
Input
NOTE: The -f and -p options are not supported for the serial/Telnet/ssh console.
• -f — The -f < filename > option causes config to read the contents of the file specified by
< filename > and configure iDRAC. The file must contain data in the format specified in the
section Parsing Rules in the iDRAC User’s Guide available at support.dell.com/manuals.
• -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.
