Dell IDRAC6 manual Configuring Multiple iDRAC6 Controllers, 118

Configuring Multiple iDRAC6 Controllers

Using RACADM, you can configure one or more iDRAC6 controllers with identical properties. When you query a specific iDRAC6 controller using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the racadm.cfg configuration file from the retrieved information. By exporting the file to one or more iDRAC6, you can configure your controllers with identical properties in a minimal amount of time.

NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique iDRAC6 information (such as the static IP address) that must be modified before you export the file

to other iDRAC6.

To configure multiple iDRAC6 controllers, perform the following procedures:

1Use RACADM to query the target iDRAC6 that contains the appropriate configuration.

NOTE: The generated .cfg file does not contain user passwords.

Open a command prompt and type:

racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg

NOTE: Redirecting the iDRAC6 configuration to a file using getconfig -fis only supported with the local and remote RACADM interfaces.

2Modify the configuration file using a simple text editor (optional).

3Use the new configuration file to modify a target iDRAC6. In the command prompt, type:

racadm config -f myfile.cfg

4Reset the target iDRAC6 that was configured. In the command prompt, type:

racadm racreset

The getconfig -f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the iDRAC6 configuration and generates the racadm.cfg file. If required, you can configure the file with another name.

You can use the getconfig command to enable you to perform the following actions:
