All parameters are specified as "object=value" pairs with no white space between the object, =, or value.

White spaces that are included after the value are ignored. A 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). These characters are valid modem chat script characters.

See the example in the previous bullet.

The racadm getconfig -f<filename>.cfg command places a comment in front of index objects, allowing the user to see the included comments.

To view the contents of an indexed group, use the following command: racadm getconfig -g <groupName> -i <index 1-16>

For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the "[ ]" pair. The following are examples of the current indexed groups:

[cfgUserAdmin]

cfgUserAdminIndex=11

If you type racadm getconfig -f <myexample>.cfg, the command builds a .cfg file for the current iDRAC6 configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting point for your unique .cfg file.

Modifying the iDRAC6 IP Address

When you modify the iDRAC6 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.

For example:

#

#Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"

[cfgLanNetworking]

cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110
