CLI Guide

• --clone—Gets the configuration .xml files without system-related details such as service tag. The .xml file

received does not have any virtual disk creation option.

• --replace—Gets the configuration .xml files with the system-related details such as service tag.

• -c—Specifies the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the configurations

should be exported. If this option is not specified, the configuration related to all the components are exported.

• --includeph—Specifies that the output of the passwords included in the exported configuration .xml file

are in the hashed format.

NOTE: if --includeph is not used, the output of the passwords are in the .xml file in clear text.

NOTE: For --clone and --replace options, only .xml file template is received. These options --

clone and --replace cannot be used in the same command.

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.

This command does not support setting the proxy parameters if the share location (-l) is HTTP/HTTPS. To perform

the operation with HTTP or HTTPS through a proxy, the proxy parameters must be first configured using the

lifecyclecontroller.lcattributes. Once these proxy parameters are configured, they become the part of default

configuration; the proxy attributes should be cleared to end use of the HTTP/HTTPS proxy.

The valid lifecyclecontroller.lcattributes HTTP/HTTPS proxy parameters are:

• UserProxyUserName

• UserProxyPassword

• UserProxyServer

• UserProxyPort

• UserProxyType

To view the list of proxy attributes, use racadm get lifecycleController.lcAttributes.
