Using the RACADM Command Line Interface
265
This command creates the file myconfig.cfg in the current directory.
Configuration File Syntax
NOTE:
Edit the configuration file with a plain text editor, such as Notepad on
Windows or vi on Linux. The racadm utility parses ASCII text only. Any formatting
confuses the parser and may corrupt iDRAC6 database.
This section describes the format of the configuration file.
• Lines that start with # are comments.
A comment must start in the first column of the line. A # character in any
other column is treated as a normal # character.
Example :
#
# This is a comment
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminPrivilege=4
• Group entries must be surrounded by [ and ] characters.
The starting [ character denoting a group name must start in column one.
This group name must be specified before any of the objects in that group.
Objects that do not include an associated group name generate an error.
The configuration data is organized into groups as defined in "iDRAC6
Enterprise Property Database Group and Object Definitions."
The following example displays a group name, object, and the object’s
property value.
Example:
[cfgLanNetworking]
( group name )
cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121
( object name )
• Parameters are specified as object=value pairs with no white space between
the object, =, and value.
White space that is included after the value is ignored. White space inside
a value string remains unmodified. Any character to the right of the
= is
taken as is (for example, a second = , or a # , [ , ] , and so forth).
