Here is the list of required and optional parameters to be entered as the string value:

 -f (Filename): name of exported Server Configuration Profile file (mandatory for iDRAC 2.20.20.20

and earlier versions)

Note: If the -f parameter is not used, refer to the "File Naming Behavior with iDRAC firmware 2.20.20.20 or later” section.

 -n (Sharename): name of network share (mandatory for NFS or CIFS)

 -s (ShareType): Type 0 for NFS, or 2 for CIFS (mandatory)

 -i (IPAddress): IP address of the network share (mandatory)

 -u (Username): username that has access to network share (mandatory only for CIFS)

 -p (Password): user password that has access to network share (mandatory only for CIFS)

 -d (ShutdownType): type 0 for graceful or 1 for forced (default setting: 0) (optional)

 -t (Timetowait): time to wait for the host to shutdown (default setting: 300) (optional)

accessing profile files by using HTTP and HTTPS. The -s option flag is updated as follows:

-s (ShareType): type nfs or 0 for NFS; cifs or 2 for CIFS; http or 5 for HTTP; or https or 6 for HTTPS
