• -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.

• -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.
