Advanced iDRAC6 Configuration 119
• Display all configuration properties in a group (specified by group name
and index)
• Display all configuration properties for a user by user name
The config subcommand loads the information into the other iDRAC6.
Use config to synchronize the user and password database with Server
Administrator.
The initial configuration file, racadm.cfg, is named by the user. In the
following example, the configuration file is named myfile.cfg. To create this
file, type the following at the command prompt:
racadm getconfig -f myfile.cfg

which may corrupt the RACADM database.

this subsection).
The .cfg file can be:
•Created
• Obtained from a
racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg
command
• Obtained from a r
acadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg
command, and then edited
NOTE: For information about the getconfig command, see getconfig command in

The .cfg file is first parsed to verify that valid group and object names are
present and that some simple syntax rules are being followed. Errors are
flagged with the line number that detected the error, and a simple message
explains the problem. The entire file is parsed for correctness, and all errors
are displayed. Write commands are not transmitted to the iDRAC6 if an
