164 Using the RACADM Command Line Interface

NOTE: Redirecting the RAC configuration to a file using getconfig -f is only supported with the local and

remote RACADM interfaces.

Modify the configuration file using a simple text editor (optional).

Use the new configuration file to modify a target RAC.

In the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

Reset the target RAC that was configured.

In the command prompt, type:

racadm reset

The getconfig -f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the DRAC 5 configuration and generates the

racadm.cfg file. If required, you can configure the file with another name.

You can use the getconfig command to enable you to perform the following actions:

• Display all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name and index)

• Display all configuration properties for a user by user name

The config subcommand loads the information into other DRAC 5s. Use config to synchronize the user

and password database with Server Administrator

The initial configuration file, racadm.cfg, is named by the user. In the following example, the

configuration file is named myfile.cfg. To create this file, type the following at the command prompt:

racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg

NOTICE: It is recommended that you edit this file with a simple text editor. The racadm utility uses an ASCII text

parser. Any formatting confuses the parser, which may corrupt the racadm database.

Creating a DRAC 5 Configuration File

The DRAC 5 configuration file <filename>.cfg is used with the racadm config -f

<filename>.cfg command. The configuration file is a simple text file that allows the user to build a

configuration file (similar to an .ini file) and configure the DRAC 5 from this file. You may use any file

name, and the file does not require a .cfg extension (although it is referred to by that designation in this

subsection).

The .cfg file can be:

•Created

• Obtained from a

racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg

command

• Obtained from a r

acadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg

command, and then edited

NOTE: See "getconfig" for information about the getconfig command.
