For the list of supported groups and objects under the get command, see Database Objects With Get and Set Commands

  • <group> — Specifies the group containing the object that must be read.
  • <object> — Specifies the object name of the value that must be read.
  • <index> — Specifies where FQDD Aliases or Groups must be indexed.
  • -f <filename> — This option enables you to save the RAC configuration to a file. and also enables the subcommand to write the device configuration to a file. This option is not supported in Firmware RACADM interface.
  • -u — Specifies user name of the remote share from where the file must be exported.
  • -p — Specifies password for the remote share from where the file must be exported.
  • -l — Specifies network share location from where the file must be exported.
  • -t — Specifies the file type that must be exported. Valid values are xml and ini. These options are not case-sensitive. ini exports the legacy configuration file. The ini file cannot be exported to a remote share. If -t is not specified, then the ini file is exported.
    • NOTE: To import or export .xml config files, Lifecycle Controller version 1.1 or later is required.
  • --clone — Gets the configuration .xml files without system-related details such as Service Tag. The .xml file received does not have any virtual disk creation option.
  • --replace — Gets the configuration .xml files with the system-related details such as Service Tag.
  • -c — Specifies the FQDD or list of FQDDs separated by ',' of the components for which the configurations should be exported. If this option is not specified, the configuration related to all the components are exported.
  • --includeph — Specifies that the password hash should be included in the exported configuration .xml file.
  • -f <filename> — This option enables you to save the RAC configuration to a file. and also enables the subcommand to write the device configuration to a file. This option is not supported in Firmware RACADM interface.

    For Indexed groups, if a group is not configured, then it is not saved in the configuration file.

  • NOTE: For --clone and --replace options, only .xml file template is received. These options --clone and --replace cannot be used in the same command.

  • Display an entire group, in this case the topology configuration.
    racadm get system.location
  • Display a single object from a particular group.
    racadm get system.location.rack.name
  • Export the xml configuration to a CIFS share.
    racadm get -f file -t xml -u myuser -p xxx -l //192.168.0/share
  • Export the xml configuration to an NFS share.
    racadm get -f file -t xml -l 192.168.0:/myshare
  • racadm get -f xyz_temp_clone -t xml -u Administrator -p xxx -l //192.168.0/xyz --clone
  • racadm get -f xyz_temp_replace -t xml -u Administrator -p xxx -l //192.168.0/xyz --replace
  • Export the xml configuration of the iDRAC component to a CIFS share.
    racadm get -f file -t xml -u myuser -p xxx -l //192.168.0/share  -c iDRAC.Embedded.1
