Users Guide

HTTP and HTTPS file sharing options are supported for iDRAC firmware 3.00.00.00 or later. Details of the HTTP or HTTPS address need
to be provided. In case the proxy is enabled on the server, the user needs to provide further proxy settings to allow HTTP or HTTPS to
transfer information. The -s option flag is updated as:
Table 9. Different Share Types and pass in values
-s (ShareType) pass in
NFS 0 or nfs
CIFS 2 or cifs
HTTP 5 or http
HTTPS 6 or https
NOTE: HTTPS certificates are not supported with Auto Config. Auto Config ignores certificate warnings.
Following list describes the required and optional parameters to pass in for the string value:
-f (Filename): name of exported Server Configuration Profile file. This is required for iDRAC firmware versions prior to 2.20.20.20.
-n (Sharename): name of network share. This is required for NFS or CIFS.
-s (ShareType): pass in either 0 for NFS, 2 for CIFS, 5 for HTTP and 6 for HTTPS. This is a mandatory field for iDRAC firmware
versions 3.00.00.00.
-i (IPAddress): IP address of the network share. This is a mandatory field.
-u (Username): username that has access to network share. This is a mandatory field for CIFS.
-p (Password): user password that has access to network share. This is a mandatory field for CIFS.
-d (ShutdownType): either 0 for graceful or 1 for forced (default setting: 0). This is an optional field.

-e (EndHostPowerState): either 0 for OFF or 1 for ON (default setting 1). This is an optional field.
The additional option flags are supported in iDRAC firmware 3.00.00.00 or later to enable the configuration of HTTP proxy parameters and
set the retry timeout for accessing the Profile file:
—pd (ProxyDefault): Use default proxy setting. This is an optional field.
—pt (ProxyType): The user can pass in http or socks (default setting http). This is an optional field.
—ph (ProxyHost): IP address of the proxy host. This is an optional field.
—pu (ProxyUserName): username that has access to the proxy server. This is required for proxy support.
—pp (ProxyPassword): user password that has access to the proxy server. This is required for proxy support.
—po (ProxyPort): port for the proxy server (default setting is 80). This is an optional field.
—to (Timeout): specifies the retry timeout in minutes for obtaining config file (default is 60 minutes).
For iDRAC firmware 3.00.00.00 or later, JSON format Profile files are supported. The following file names will be used if the Filename
parameter is not present:
• <service tag>-config.xml, Example: CDVH7R1-config.xml
• <model number>-config.xml, Example: R640-config.xml
• config.xml
• <service tag>-config.json, Example:CDVH7R1-config.json
