Users Guide

• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the "[ ]" pair. The following are examples of the

current indexed groups:

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminIndex=11

If you type racadm getconfig -f <

myexample

>.cfg, the command builds a .cfg file for the current

iDRAC7 configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for your unique . cfg

file.

Modifying the iDRAC7 IP Address

When you modify the iDRAC7 IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary

=value entries. Only

the actual variable group’s label with "[" and "]" remains, including the two

=value entries pertaining to the IP

address change.

For example:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110

cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1

This file is updated as follows:

# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143

# comment, the rest of this line is ignored

cfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1

The command racadm config -f myfile.cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A

correct file updates the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same

getconfig command from the previous

example to confirm the update.

Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network.

NOTE: "Anchor" is an internal term and do not use it in the file.

Disabling Access to Modify iDRAC7 Configuration Settings on Host
