Using an iDRAC6 Configuration File

An iDRAC6 configuration file is a text file that contains a representation of
the values in iDRAC6 database. You can use the RACADM getconfig
subcommand to generate a configuration file containing the current values
from iDRAC6. You can then edit the file and use the RACADM config -f
subcommand to load the file back into iDRAC6, or to copy the configuration
to other iDRAC6s.
Creating an iDRAC6 Configuration File
The configuration file is a plain text file. You can use any valid file name;
however, the .cfg file extension is the recommended convention.
The configuration file can be:
• Created with a text editor
• Obtained from iDRAC6 with the RACADM getconfig subcommand
• Obtained from iDRAC6 with the RACADM getconfig subcommand and
then edited
To obtain a configuration file with the RACADM getconfig command,
enter the following command:
racadm -r <remote iDRAC6 IP> -u <user> -p <password>
getconfig -f myconfig.cfg
