Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 7 (iDRAC7) Version 1.50.50 User's Guide

Configuring Multiple iDRAC7s Using RACADM

You can configure one or more iDRAC7s with identical properties using RACADM. When you query a specific iDRAC7 using its group ID and object ID, RACADM creates the .cfg configuration file from the retrieved information. File name is user specified. Import the file to other iDRAC7s to identically configure them.
  • NOTE: Few configuration files contain unique iDRAC7 information (such as the static IP address) that you must modify before you export the file to other iDRAC7s.

You can also use the system configuration XML file to configure multiple iDRACs using RACADM. System configuration XML file contains the component configuration information, and this file is used to apply the configuration for BIOS, iDRAC, RAID, and NIC by importing the file into a target system. For more information, see XML Configuration Workflow white paper available at dell.com/support/manuals or at Dell Tech Center.

To configure multiple iDRAC7s using the .cfg file:

  1. Query the target iDRAC7 that contains the required configuration using the command: racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg.

    The command requests the iDRAC7 configuration and generates the myfile.cfg file. If required, you can configure the file with another name.

    • NOTE: Redirecting the iDRAC7 configuration to a file using getconfig -f is only supported with the local and remote RACADM interfaces.
    • NOTE: The generated .cfg file does not contain user passwords.

    The getconfig command displays all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name and index) and all configuration properties for a user by user name.

  2. Modify the configuration file using a simple text editor (optional).
    • NOTE: It is recommended that you edit this file with a simple text editor. The RACADM utility uses an ASCII text parser. Any formatting confuses the parser, which may corrupt the RACADM database.
  3. Use the new configuration file to modify the target iDRAC7 using the command: racadm config -f myfile.cfg This loads the information into the other iDRAC7. You can use config subcommand to synchronize the user and password database with Server Administrator.
  4. Reset the target iDRAC7 using the command: racadm racreset
