Configuring Multiple CMCs through RACADM Using Chassis Configuration Profiles

By using chassis configuration profiles, you can export the chassis configuration profiles as an XML file and import it to another chassis.

Use RACADM get command for export operation and set command for import operation.You can export chassis profiles (XML files) from CMC to the network share or to a local management station and import chassis profiles (XML files) from the network share or from a local management station.

  • NOTE: By default, the export is done as clone type. You can use the –—clone to get the clone type profile in XML file.

The import and export operation to and from the network share can be done through local RACADM as well as remote RACADM. Whereas, the import and export operation to and from the local management can be done only through remote RACADM interface.

Exporting Chassis Configuration profiles

You can export chassis configuration profiles to network share by using the get command.

  1. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file to CIFS network share by using get command, type the following:
     racadm get –f clone.xml –t xml –l //xx.xx.xx.xx/PATH –u USERNAME –p PASSWORDCMC 
  2. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file to NFS network share by using get command, type the following:
    racadm get –f clone.xml –t xml –l xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH

You can export chassis configuration profiles to network share through a remote RACADM interface.

  1. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file to CIFS network share, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC get –f clone.xml –t xml –l //xx.xx.xx.xx/PATH –u USERNAME –p PASSWORD
  2. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file to NFS network share, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC get –f clone.xml –t xml –l xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH 

you can export chassis configuration profiles to local management station through remote RACADM interface.

  1. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC get –f clone.xml –t xml

Importing Chassis Configuration profiles

You can import chassis configuration profiles from network share to another chassis by using the set command.

  1. To import the chassis configuration profiles from CIFS network share, type the following:
     racadm set –f clone.xml –t xml –l //xx.xx.xx.xx/PATH –u USERNAME –p PASSWORDCMC 
  2. To import the chassis configuration profiles from NFS network share, type the following:
    racadm set –f clone.xml –t xml –l xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH 

You can import chassis configuration profiles from network share through remote RACADM interface.

  1. To import the chassis configuration profiles from CIFS network share, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC  set –f clone.xml –t xml –l //xx.xx.xx.xx/PATH –u USERNAME –p PASSWORD
  2. To import the chassis configuration profiles from NFS network share, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC set –f clone.xml –t xml –l xx.xx.xx.xx:/PATH 

You can import chassis configuration profiles from local management station through remote RACADM interface.

  1. To export the chassis configuration profiles as clone.xml file, type the following:
    racadm –r xx.xx.xx.xx –u USERNAMECMC –p PASSWORDCMC set –f clone.xml –t xml
