Creating a CMC Configuration File
The CMC configuration file, <filename>.cfg, is used with the
racadm config -f <filename>.cfg
command to
create a simple text file. The command allows you to build a configuration file (similar to a .ini file) and configure the
CMC from this file.
You may use any file name, and the file does not require a .cfg extension (although it is referred to by that designation in
this subsection).
NOTE: For more information about the
getconfig
subcommand, see the
RACADM Command Line Reference
Guide for iDRAC7 and CMC .
RACADM parses the .cfg file when it is first loaded onto the CMC to verify that valid group and object names are present
and that some simple syntax rules are being followed. Errors are flagged with the line number that detected the error,
and a message explains the problem. The entire file is parsed for correctness, and all errors display. Write commands
are not transmitted to the CMC if an error is found in the .cfg file. You must correct all errors before any configuration
can take place.
To check for errors before you create the configuration file, use the
-c
option with the
config
subcommand. With the
-c
option,
config
only verifies syntax and does not write to the CMC.
Follow these guidelines when you create a .cfg file:
• If the parser encounters an indexed group, it is the value of the anchored object that differentiates the various
indexes.
The parser reads in all of the indexes from the CMC for that group. Any objects within that group are
modifications when the CMC is configured. If a modified object represents a new index, the index is created on
the CMC during configuration.
• You cannot specify a desired index in a .cfg file.
Indexes may be created and deleted. Over time the group may become fragmented with used and unused
indexes. If an index is present, it is modified. If an index is not present, the first available index is used.
This method allows flexibility when adding indexed entries where you do not need to make exact index matches
between all the CMCs being managed. New users are added to the first available index. A .cfg file that parses
and runs correctly on one CMC may not run correctly on another if all indexes are full and you must add a new
user.
• Use the
racresetcfg
subcommand to configure both CMCs with identical properties.
Use the
racresetcfg
subcommand to reset the CMC to original defaults, and then run the
racadm
config -f <filename>.cfg
command. Ensure that the .cfg file includes all desired objects, users,
indexes, and other parameters. For a complete list of objects and groups, see the database property chapter of
the
RACADM Command Line Reference Guide for iDRAC6 and CMC .
CAUTION: Use the
racresetcfg
subcommand to reset the database and the CMC Network Interface
settings to the original default settings and remove all users and user configurations. While the root user is
available, other users’ settings are also reset to the default settings.
• If you type
racadm getconfig -f <filename> .cfg
, the command builds a .cfg file for the current
CMC configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for your unique .cfg
file.
