racadm set -f <filename> -t xml -u <httpuser> -p <httppwd> -l <HTTP> http://
test.com/myshare

c <FQDD>
• Configure a RAC from an XML configuration file located on a remote TFTP share.
racadm set -f <filename> -t xml -l <TFTP share> -c <FQDD>
Input
• <FQDD Alias>
Examples for FQDDs:
• System.Power
• System.Power.Supply
• System.Location
• LifecycleController.LCAttributes
• System.LCD
• iDRAC.Serial
•
<group> — Specifies the group containing the object that must be written.
• <object> — Specifies the object name of the value that must be written.
• <index> — This option is specified where FQDD Aliases or Groups must be indexed.
• -f <filename> — Enables set to configure the device from a specified file. This option is not supported in
the Firmware RACADM interface.
• --continue — This option is used with –f only and is applicable for only for INI file operation.. If a multi-object
Set is unsuccessful for a <group>, then Set continues with the next <group> in the file. If this option is not
used, then Set stops when it is unsuccessful for a particular <group>. After the unsuccessful <group>, the
remaining <group>s are not configured.
NOTE:
This option is applicable only for INI file operation.
• -u — Specifies user name of the CIFS remote share from which the file must be imported
• -p — Specifies password for the remote CIFS share from which the file must be imported.
• -l — Specifies network share location from where the file must be imported.
• -t — Specifies the file type to be imported.
The valid values are:
• xml—Imports the Server Configuration Profile in XML format either from a local or network share file.
• JSON—Specifies a JSON file.
• INI— files can only be imported from a local file.
NOTE:
To import or export Server Configuration Profile.xml, use the Lifecycle Controller version
1.1 or later.
Staging and reboot control options
The following options control when and how system reboots are performed when using the –f option. As noted
above, some FQDDs require a system reboot to apply the new values; other FQDDs optionally support immediate
application of new values. If the imported file contains ONLY immediate application-capable FQDDs such as iDRAC,
do NOT use the –b option and the Set command will schedule a real-time job to immediately apply the new values.
