Installation Manual

138 Adding and Configuring iDRAC6 Users

type the following command once for each index of 1–16:

racadm getconfig -g cfgUserAdmin -i <index>

NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view

or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC6 configuration parameters.

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values.

Two objects of interest are:

# cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number,

which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a

name is displayed after the "=", that index is taken by that user name.

NOTE: When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config

subcommand, you must specify the index with the -i option. Observe that the

cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a '#'

character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to specify any

number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified. A new user is

added to the first

available index. This behavior allows more flexibility in configuring

multiple iDRAC6 with the same settings.

Adding an iDRAC6 User

To add a new user to the RAC configuration, a few basic commands can be

used. In general, perform the following procedures:

Set the user name.

Set the password.

Set the following user privileges:

•iDRAC

•LAN

•Serial Port

Enable the user.
