Modifying The Cmc Ip Address - Dell PowerEdge FX2 User Manual

• All parameters are specified as "object=value" pairs with no white space between the object, =, or value. White spaces that are
included after the value are ignored. A white space inside a value string remains unmodified. Any character to the right of the =
(for example, a second =, a #, [, ], and so on) is taken as-is. These characters are valid modem chat script characters.
[cfgLanNetworking] -{group name}
cfgNicIpAddress=143.154.133.121 {object value}
• The .cfg parser ignores an index object entry.
You cannot specify which index is used. If the index already exists, it is either used or the new entry is created in the first
available index for that group.
The racadm getconfig -f <filename>.cfg command places a comment in front of index objects, allowing you to see
the included comments.
NOTE: You may create an indexed group manually using the following command:
racadm config -g <groupname>
name>
• The line for an indexed group cannot be deleted from a .cfg file. If you do delete the line with a text editor, RACADM stops when
it parses the configuration file and alert you of the error.
You must remove an indexed object manually using the following command:
racadm config -g <groupname>
NOTE: A NULL string (identified by two " characters) directs the CMC to delete the index for the specified group.
To view the contents of an indexed group, run the following command:
racadm getconfig -g <groupname> -i <index 1-16>
• For indexed groups the object anchor must be the first object after the [ ] pair. The following are examples of the current
indexed groups:
[cfgUserAdmin]
cfgUserAdminUserName= <USER_NAME>
• When using remote RACADM to capture the configuration groups into a file, if a key property within a group is not set, the
configuration group is not saved as part of the configuration file. If these configuration groups are needed to be cloned onto
other CMCs, the key property must be set before executing the getconfig -f command. Alternatively, you can manually
enter the missing properties into the configuration file after running the getconfig -f command. This is true for all the
RACADM–indexed groups.
This is the list of the indexed groups that exhibit this behavior and their corresponding key properties:
– cfgUserAdmin — cfgUserAdminUserName
– cfgEmailAlert — cfgEmailAlertAddress
– cfgTraps — cfgTrapsAlertDestIPAddr
– cfgStandardSchema — cfgSSADRoleGroupName
– cfgServerInfo — cfgServerBmcMacAddress

Modifying the CMC IP address

When you modify the CMC IP address in the configuration file, remove all unnecessary <variable> = <value> entries. Only
the actual variable group's label with [ and ] remains, including the two <variable> = <value> entries pertaining to the IP
address change.
Example:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=192.x.x.x
cfgNicGateway=10.35.10.1
This file is updated as follows:
#
# Object Group "cfgLanNetworking"
#
[cfgLanNetworking]
cfgNicIpAddress=10.35.9.143
-o <anchored object> -i <index 1-16> <unique anchor
-o <objectname> -i <index 1-16> ""
