Configuring Multiple DRAC 5 Cards
Using RACADM, you can configure one or more DRAC 5 cards with identical properties. When you
query a specific DRAC 5 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 DRAC 5 cards, you
can configure your controllers with identical properties in a minimal amount of time.
NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique DRAC 5 information (such as the static IP address) that must be
modified before you export the file to other DRAC 5 cards.
To configure multiple DRAC 5 cards, perform the following procedures:
1
