Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller 8 (iDRAC8) Version 2.00.00.00 RACADM Command Line Interface Reference Guide

Retrieves iDRAC configuration parameters individually or all iDRAC configuration groups may be retrieved and saved to a file.

• -f — The -f <filename> option directs getconfig to write the entire iDRAC configurations to a configuration file. This file can be used for batch configuration operations using the config subcommand.
  • NOTE: This option is supported only on remote interfaces.
• -g — The -g <groupName> or group option, is used to display the configuration for a single group. The <groupName> is the name for the group used in the racadm.cfg files. If the group is an indexed group, then use the -i option.
• -h — The -h or help option, displays a list of all available configuration groups in alphabetical order. This option is useful when you do not remember exact group names.
• -i — The -i <index> or index option, is valid only for indexed groups and is used to specify a unique group. The <index> is a decimal integer from 1 through n, where n can vary from 1 to maximum number of indexes a particular group supports. If -i <index> is not specified, then a value of 1 is assumed for groups, which are tables that have multiple entries. The -i option enters the index value and not a named value
• -o — The -o <objectname> or object option specifies the object name that is used in the query. This option is optional and can be used with the -g option.
• -u — The -u <username> or user name option, is used to display the configuration for the specified user. The <username> option is the login name for the user.
• -v — The -v option displays more information with the display of the properties and is used with the -g option.

• Invalid syntax, group name, object name, index, or any other invalid database members is entered.
• The RACADM CLI transport is unsuccessful.

If errors are not encountered, this subcommand displays the content of the specified configuration.
