Loading the Configuration File Into the iDRAC
The command racadm config -f < filename > parses the
configuration file to verify that valid group and object names are present and
that syntax rules are followed. If the file is error-free the command then
updates the iDRAC database with the contents of the file.
NOTE: To verify the syntax only and not update the iDRAC database, add the -c
option to the config subcommand.
Errors in the configuration file are flagged with the line number and a
message that explains the problem. You must correct all errors before the
configuration file can update the iDRAC.
NOTE: Use the racresetcfg subcommand to reset the database and the iDRAC NIC
settings to the original default settings and remove all users and user
configurations. While the root user is available, other users’ settings are also reset
to the default settings.
Before you execute the racadm config -f < filename > command, you
can run the racresetcfg subcommand to reset the iDRAC to its default
settings. Ensure that the configuration file you load includes all desired
objects, users, indexes, and other parameters.
To update the iDRAC with the configuration file, execute the following
command at the managed server’s command prompt:
racadm config -f <
filename>
After the command has completed, you can execute the RACADM getconfig
subcommand to confirm that the update succeeded.
