• When using remote RACADM to capture the configuration groups into a file, if a key property within a group is not set, theconfiguration group is not saved as part of the configuration file. If these configuration groups are needed to be cloned ontoother CMCs, the key property must be set before executing the getconfig -f command. Alternatively, you can manuallyenter the missing properties into the configuration file after running the getconfig -fcommand. This is true for all theRACADM–indexed groups.This is the list of the indexed groups that exhibit this behavior and their corresponding key properties:– cfgUserAdmin — cfgUserAdminUserName– cfgEmailAlert — cfgEmailAlertAddress– cfgTraps — cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr– cfgStandardSchema — cfgSSADRoleGroupName– cfgServerInfo — cfgServerBmcMacAddressModifying the CMC IP AddressWhen you modify the CMC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary = entries. Onlythe actual variable group’s label with [ and ] remains, including the two = entries pertaining to the IPaddress change.Example:## Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"#[cfgLanNetworking]cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.10.110cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1This file is updated as follows:## Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"#[cfgLanNetworking]cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143# comment, the rest of this line is ignoredcfgNicGateway=10.35.9.1The command racadm config -f .cfg parses the file and identifies any errors by line number. A correct fileupdates the proper entries. Additionally, you can use the same getconfig command from the previous example to confirm theupdate.Use this file to download company-wide changes or to configure new systems over the network with the command, racadmgetconfig -f .cfg.NOTE:Anchor is a reserved word and should not be used in the .cfg file.Configuring Multiple CMCs through RACADM Using ChassisConfiguration ProfilesBy using chassis configuration profiles, you can export the chassis configuration profiles as an XML file and import it to anotherchassis.Use RACADM get command for export operation and set command for import operation.You can export chassis profiles (XML files)from CMC to the network share or to a local management station and import chassis profiles (XML files) from the network share orfrom a local management station.NOTE: By default, the export is done as clone type. You can use the –—clone to get the clone type profile in XML file.The import and export operation to and from the network share can be done through local RACADM as well as remote RACADM.Whereas, the import and export operation to and from the local management can be done only through remote RACADM interface.88
