Reference Guide

Input
• <FQDD Alias>
Examples for FQDDs:
• System.Power
• System.Power.Supply
• System.Location
• LifecycleController.LCAttributes
• System.LCD
• iDRAC.Serial
•
<group> — Specifies the group containing the object that must be written.
• <object> — Specifies the object name of the value that must be written.
• <index> — This option is specified where FQDD Aliases or Groups must be indexed.
• -f <filename> — Enables set to configure the device from a specified file. This option is not supported in
the Firmware RACADM interface.
• --continue — This option is used with –f only and is applicable for only for INI file operation.. If a multi-object
Set is unsuccessful for a <group>, then Set continues with the next <group> in the file. If this option is not
used, then Set stops when it is unsuccessful for a particular <group>. After the unsuccessful <group>, the
remaining <group>s are not configured.
NOTE:
This option is applicable only for INI file operation.
• -u — Specifies user name of the CIFS remote share from which the file must be imported
• -p — Specifies password for the remote CIFS share from which the file must be imported.
• -l — Specifies network share location from where the file must be imported.
• -t — Specifies the file type to be imported.
The valid values are:
• xml—Imports the Server Configuration Profile in XML format either from a local or network share file.
• JSON—Specifies a JSON file.
• INI— files can only be imported from a local file.
NOTE:
To import or export Server Configuration Profile.xml, use the Lifecycle Controller version
1.1 or later.
Staging and reboot control options
The following options control when and how system reboots are performed when using the –f option. As noted
above, some FQDDs require a system reboot to apply the new values; other FQDDs optionally support immediate
application of new values. If the imported file contains ONLY immediate application-capable FQDDs such as iDRAC,
do NOT use the –b option and the Set command will schedule a real-time job to immediately apply the new values.
NOTE:
The –b, -w, –s, and --preview options are applicable only with –f option.
• -b — . Specifies the type of shutdown for the system after a file import operation completes. The parameters
are Graceful, Forced, and NoReboot for graceful shutdown, forced shutdown, and no reboot respectively.
If -b is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the default except as noted above for files containing new
values for immediate application-capable <FQDD>s.
NOTE:
If the operating system is in use, then the graceful shutdown option may time out
within 300 seconds. If this operation is unsuccessful, then retry with the force option.
• -w — Maximum time to wait for the graceful shutdown to occur. The value must be entered in seconds.
Minimum accepted value is 300 seconds and the maximum accepted value is 3600 seconds. The default value is
1800 seconds.
• -s — Power state of the host when the import operation completes. The parameters are "On" for powered ON
and "Off" for powered OFF. If this parameter is not specified, power ON is taken as default.
• --preview — Validates the configuration .xml file and view the status.
The --preview option provides the Job ID to verify the status of the file preview operation. The Job ID can
be tracked by running the racadm jobqueue view –I <JID> command.
NOTE:
• The --preview option does not restart the system.
• The-b,-w options cannot be included with the --preview option.
• A scheduled job or pending configuration should not be running while using the --preview
option.
• -c — Specifies the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the configurations
should be imported. If this option is not specified, configuration related to all the components are imported.
NOTE: To use the -c or --preview option, the minimum Lifecycle Controller version required is 1.2.
NOTE: On certain devices, importing the server configuration profile requires two imports to apply
the configuration to all the devices. The first import of the profile enables hidden devices which are
then configured with a second import. The devices that require two imports are as follows:
• PERC S110 and PERC S130 controllers
• PCI slots in the system that are disabled in the BIOS
This command does not support proxy parameters. To perform the operation with http and https, the proxy
parameters has to be configured in the lifecyclecontroller.lcattributes. Once these proxy parameters are configured,
they become the part of default configuration. They have to be removed to ignore the proxy parameters.
The valid proxy parameters :
• UserProxyUserName
• UserProxyPassword
• UserProxyServer
• UserProxyPort
• UserProxyType
