CLI Guide

NOTE: This subcommand is deprecated. For viewing the configuration objects and its values, use set
subcommand. For more information, see iDRAC RACADM CLI Guide available at www.dell.com/
idracmanuals .
Synopsis
• racadm config -g <group> -o <object> <value>
• racadm config -g <group> -o <object> -i <index> <value>
• racadm config -f <filename> -o [-c] [-p] [-continue]
NOTE:
• The configuration file retrieved using remote RACADM is not interoperable. For the config
racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:\config.txt command, use the
configuration file retrieved from the same interface. For example, for the config racadm -r
192.168.0 -u root -p xxx config -f c:\config.txt , use the file generated from
getconfig command racadm -r 192.168.0 -u root -p xxx getconfig -f
c:\config.txt.
• -f is only applicable for remote RACADM.
Input
• -f—The -f <filename> option causes config to read the contents of the file specified by <filename>
and configure iDRAC. The file must contain data in the format specified in the section Parsing Rules in the
iDRAC User's Guide available at www.dell.com/idracmanuals .
NOTE: The -f option is not supported for the Serial or telnet or SSH console.
• -continue—This option is used with -f option only. If configuration through file is unsuccessful for a group,
then configuration continues with the next group in the file. If this option is not used, then configuration stops
when it is unsuccessful for a particular group. After the unsuccessful group, the rest of the groups are not
configured.
• -p—This option must be used with the -f option. It directs config to delete the password entries contained
in the config file -f <filename> after the configuration is complete.
To apply the password, you must remove the preceding read-only marker '#' in the config file before executing
the config -f command.
• -g—The -g <groupName>, or group option, must be used with the -o option. The <group> specifies the
group containing the object that is to be set.
• -o—The -o <objectName>, or object option, must be used with the -g option. This option specifies the
object name that is written with the string.
• <value>—Value to set to configuration object.
• -i—The -i <index>, or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and can be used to specify a unique
group—used with -g and -o. 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.
'nx' is allowed for servers.
• -c—This option performs validation but do not configure.
Output
This subcommand generates error output for any of the following reasons:
• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index or other invalid database members.
• If the RACADM command-line interface is unsuccessful.
Examples
• To configure a single property of a group:
racadm config -g cfgSerial -o cfgSerialBaudRate
• Modify a user password:
racadm config -g cfgUserAdmin -o cfgUserAdminPassword -i 3 newpassword
