136 Using the serial and racadm Commands

• An indexed object entry is ignored by the
.cfg
parser.
The user
cannot
specify which index is used. If the index already exists, it is used, or else the
new entry is created in the first available index for that group.
The
racadm getconfig -f <
filename
>.cfg
command places a comment in front of index
objects, which allows the user to see which comments are being used.
NOTE: The user may create an indexed group manually using the following command:
racadm config -g <
groupName
> -o <

anchored object

> -i <
index 1-16
>
<

unique anchor name

>
• The line for an indexed group
cannot
be deleted from a
.cfg
file.
The user must remove an indexed object manually using the following command:
racadm config -g <
groupName
> -o <

objectName

> -i <
index 1-16
> ""
NOTE: A NULL string (two
""
characters) directs the DRAC 4 to delete the index for the specified group.
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 brackets ([ ]) pair. The
following are examples of the current indexed groups:
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminUserName=<

USER_NAME

>
"
[cfgTraps]
cfgTrapsDestIpAddr=<

IP_ADDRESS

>
'
'
NOTE: Type racadm getconfig -f <
myexample
>.cfg. This command builds a .cfg file for
the current DRAC 4 configuration. This configuration file can be used as an example and as a starting
point for your unique .cfg file.
Configuration File Example
The following example describes the IP address of the DRAC 4. Remove all unnecessary
<variable>=value entries. In this situation, only the actual variable group’s label with "[" and
"]" will remain along with the two <variable>=value entries pertaining to the IP address change.
