4 Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers, Server Management Guide • May, 2004
Command Line Interface
Server-management capabilities are available from the command line.
See Appendix B for a list of server-management commands that you can use with
these servers, as well as a description, the command format, a list of arguments and
a list of return codes for each command.
SSH and Scripting Capabilities
A system administrator can log in to the Service Processor using SSH and issue
commands, or more commonly, write a shell script that remotely invokes these
operations.
The server-management commands enable you to efficiently manage each area of
the server. From the command line, you can write data-driven scripts that automate
the configuration of multiple machines. For example, a central management system
can cause many servers to power on and boot at a specified time, or when a specific
condition occurs.
For more information about scripting, see “Configuring Scripting Capabilities” on
page 55 .
SNMP Integration
SNMP management provides remote access by SNMP-compliant entities to monitor
the health and status of the server. The SP sends SNMP alerts to external
management functions when warranted.
For more information about SNMP, refer to “SNMP Server Management” on
page 41 .
The diagram in FIGURE 1-1 illustrates the communications paths for the different
server-management options.
