CLI Guide

If -b is not specified, graceful shutdown is taken as the default except as noted above for files containing new
values for immediate application-capable <FQDD>s.
NOTE: If the operating system is in use, then the graceful shutdown option may time out
within 300 seconds. If this operation is unsuccessful, then retry with the force option.
• -w — Maximum time to wait for the graceful shutdown to occur. The value must be entered in seconds.
Minimum accepted value is 300 seconds and the maximum accepted value is 3600 seconds. The default value is
1800 seconds.
• -s — Power state of the host when the import operation completes. The parameters are "On" for powered ON
and "Off" for powered OFF. If this parameter is not specified, power ON is taken as default.
• --preview — Validates the configuration .xml file and view the status.
The --preview option provides the Job ID to verify the status of the file preview operation. The Job ID can
be tracked by running the racadm jobqueue view –I <JID> command.
NOTE:
• The --preview option does not restart the system.
• The-b,-w options cannot be included with the --preview option.
• A scheduled job or pending configuration should not be running while using the --preview
option.
•
-c — Specifies the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the configurations
should be imported. If this option is not specified, configuration related to all the components are imported.
NOTE: To use the -c or --preview option, the minimum Lifecycle Controller version required is 1.2.
NOTE: On certain devices, importing the server configuration profile requires two imports to apply
the configuration to all the devices. The first import of the profile enables hidden devices which are
then configured with a second import. The devices that require two imports are as follows:
• PERC S110 and PERC S130 controllers
• PCI slots in the system that are disabled in the BIOS
Example
Single-object Set of real-time objects
• Configure LCD String.
$ racadm set system.lcd.LCDUserString test
• • Configure iDRAC name.
racadm set iDRAC.Info.Name idrac-server100
Single-object Set of staged objects
• Configure several BIOS settings, create a job to initiate application of new values, reboot the system, then wait
for the job to complete.
racadm set BIOS.SysProfileSettings.ProcTurboMode Disabled
racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.ProcVirtualization Enabled
racadm set BIOS.ProcSettings.ControlledTurbo Enabled
racadm jobqueue create BIOS.Setup.1-1 –r Graceful
• Make note of the Job ID output by the jobqueue command
• After reboot, wait for the job to complete by checking the job status
racadm jobqueue view –i <Job ID>
Multi-object Set of real-time objects
• Configure the iDRAC using a local INI file.
racadm set -f myidrac.ini
• Configure the iDRAC using a local Server Configuration Profile XML file containing only iDRAC settings.
racadm set -f myidrac.xml -t xml
• Configure the iDRAC using a Server Configuration Profile XML file stored on an NFS share containing only
iDRAC settings.
