Using the RACADM Command Line Interface 167
If you type racadm getconfig -f <myexample>.cfg , the command builds a .cfg file for the
current DRAC 5 configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting
point for your unique
.cfg file.
Modifying the DRAC 5 IP Address
When you modify the DRAC 5 IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary <variable>=
value entries. Only the actual variable group’s label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two
<variable>=value entries pertaining to the IP address change.
For example:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110
cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1
This file will be updated as follows:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143
# comment, the rest of this line is ignored
cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1
The command racadm config -f myfile.cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A
correct file will update the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from
the previous example to confirm the update.
Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network.
NOTE: "Anchor" is an internal term and should not be used in the file.
