Parsing Rules

All lines that start with '#' are treated as comments.

A comment line must start in column one. A '#' character in any other column is treated as a '#' character.

Some modem parameters may include # characters in its string. An escape character is not required. You may want to generate a .cfg from a racadm getconfig -f<filename>.cfg command, and then perform a racadm config -f<filename>.cfg command to a different iDRAC6, without adding escape characters.

Example:

#

#This is a comment [cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminPageModemInitString=<Modem init # not

a comment>

All 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 the iDRAC6 Administrator Reference Guide available on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com/manuals.

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}
