The racadm CLI parses the DRAC 4 configuration file, called racadm.cfg,and then sends individual configuration requests to one or more DRAC 4s.This method may be used to configure multiple DRAC 4 database properties. You must first runthe racadm CLI to query a configured DRAC 4 for its database properties, which are accessedusing their object group IDs and object IDs. The racadm CLI creates the racadm.cfg file fromthe retrieved information. You can then configure other cards with the same databaseinformation by exporting this file out to the other DRAC 4s.NOTE: Some configuration files contain unique DRAC 4 information (such as the static IP address) thatmust be modified before configuring other cards.Configuration File OverviewTo use the configuration file, perform the following high-level steps:1 Get the configuration from the DRAC 4 that contains the appropriate configuration.2 Modify the configuration (optional).3 Push the configuration to a target DRAC 4.4 Reset the target DRAC 4.The getconfig -f racadm.cfg subcommand requests the configuration of the DRAC 4 andgenerates a racadm.cfg file (you can choose any name for this file).NOTE: The generated .cfg file does not contain user passwords.Other options for the getconfig command enable you to perform such actions as:• Displaying all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name and index)• Displaying all configuration properties for a user by user nameThe config subcommand loads the information into other DRAC 4s.
