Dell 2 Modifying the CMC IP Address

NOTE: A NULL string (identified by two " characters) directs the CMC to delete the index for the
specified group.
To view the contents of an indexed group, run the following command:
racadm getconfig -g <groupname> -i <index 1-4>
• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the [ ] pair. The following are
examples of the current indexed groups:
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminUserName= <USER_NAME>
• 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.
