Synopsis
racadm getconfig -f <filename>

racadm getconfig -u <username>
racadm getconfig -h
racadm getconfig -g <groupName> -o
<objectName>
[-i index]
Input
• -f — The -f <filename> option directs getconfig to write the
entire iDRAC configuration to a configuration file. This file can
be used for batch configuration operations using the config
subcommand.
• -g — The -g <groupName>, or group option, can be used to
display the configuration for a single group. The groupName is
the name for the group used in the racadm.cfg files. If the
group is an indexed group, use the -i option.
• -h — The -h, or help option, displays a list of all available
configuration groups in alphabetical order. This option is useful
when you do not have exact group names.
• -i — The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed
groups and can be used to specify a unique group. The
<index>is a decimal integer from 1 through n, where n can vary
from 1 to maximum number of indexes a particular group
supports. If -i <index> is not specified, a value of 1 is assumed
for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The
index is specified by the index value, not a named value.
• -o — The -o <objectname> or object option specifies the
object name that is used in the query. This option is optional
and can be used with the -g option.
• -u — The -u <username>, or user name option, can be used
to display the configuration for the specified user. The
<username> option is the login name for the user.
• -v — The -v option displays additional details with the display
of the properties and is used with the -g option.
