When using remote RACADM to capture the configuration groups into a file, if a key property within a group is not set, the
configuration group is not saved as part of the configuration file. If these configuration groups are needed to be cloned onto
other CMCs, the key property must be set before executing the
getconfig -f
command. Alternatively, you can manually
enter the missing properties into the configuration file after running the
getconfig -f
command. This is true for all the
RACADM–indexed groups.
This is the list of the indexed groups that exhibit this behavior and their corresponding key properties:
– cfgUserAdmin — cfgUserAdminUserName
– cfgEmailAlert — cfgEmailAlertAddress
– cfgTraps — cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr
– cfgStandardSchema — cfgSSADRoleGroupName
– cfgServerInfo — cfgServerBmcMacAddress
Modifying the CMC IP Address
When you modify the CMC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary
<variable> = <value>
entries. Only
the actual variable group’s label with [ and ] remains, including the two
<variable> = <value>
entries pertaining to the IP
address change.
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 with the command,
racadm
getconfig -f <myfile>.cfg
.
NOTE:
Anchor
is a reserved word and should not be used in the .cfg file.
Configuring Multiple CMCs through RACADM Using Chassis
Configuration Profiles
By using chassis configuration profiles, you can export the chassis configuration profiles as an XML file and import it to another
chassis.
Use RACADM get command for export operation and set command for import operation.You can export chassis profiles (XML files)
from CMC to the network share or to a local management station and import chassis profiles (XML files) from the network share or
from a local management station.
NOTE: By default, the export is done as clone type. You can use the
–—clone
to get the clone type profile in XML file.
The import and export operation to and from the network share can be done through local RACADM as well as remote RACADM.
Whereas, the import and export operation to and from the local management can be done only through remote RACADM interface.
