NOTE: You can also type racadm getconfig -f <myfile.cfg> and view or edit the myfile.cfg file, which includes all iDRAC6 configuration parameters.

Several parameters and object IDs are displayed with their current values. Two objects of interest are:

#cfgUserAdminIndex=XX

cfgUserAdminUserName=

If the cfgUserAdminUserName object has no value, that index number, which is indicated by the cfgUserAdminIndex object, is available for use. If a name is displayed after the "=", that index is taken by that user name.

NOTE: When you manually enable or disable a user with the racadm config subcommand, you must specify the index with the -ioption. Observe that the cfgUserAdminIndex object displayed in the previous example contains a '#' character. Also, if you use the racadm config -f racadm.cfg command to specify any number of groups/objects to write, the index cannot be specified. A new user is added to the first available index. This behavior allows more flexibility in configuring multiple iDRAC6 with the same settings.

Adding an iDRAC6 User
