Update DRAC network settings remotely?
Is there a way to update the multiple network settings of a DRAC using remote racadm commands but not have those changes actually applied until you enter a additional single final command?
I am asking because I need to move all DRACs currently in a /24 (about 240 units) to a new network that is a /20 so they will be getting three new settings. A new IP adresses, a new gateway and a new netmask so I am worried that if I start to run the changes as individual commands as soon as one of the three changes it will break networking for the DRAC as the other two will not be correct. I need to change all three in one shot so I was wondering if I can change all three in a pending state and then apply those with an additional command?

Cameron,
You can do this by using getconfig and config commands. First you need to run the following command to get current iDRAC configuration to a file
racadm -r -u -p getconfig -f
Now open the file and change the network setting. Run the following command to apply the setting back to iDRAC
racadm -r -u -p config -f
This script will take care applying the network setting once related setting are saved.
Let me know what is the iDRAC firmware you have on these servers.
