Command Line Interface Overview
5.1 About the ILOM Service Processor CLI
The ILOM Service Processor command-line interface (CLI) is based on the
Distributed Management Task Force, Inc. (
http://www.dmtf.org/standards )
Server Management Command-Line Protocol Specification, version 11.0a.8 Draft.
The DMTF CLP model offers a management interface for one or many servers
regardless of server state, method of access, or installed operating system. The basic
concept of this model is that a small number of command verbs operate on a large
namespace of targets, which can be modified by options and properties.
5.1.1 Connecting to the CLI
You can access the service processor command line through the serial port or
remotely through a Secure Shell (SSH) connection.
■ Serial port – The serial port provides access to the service processor CLI and to
the system console. IPMI terminal mode and PPP mode are not available on the
serial port.
■ SSH – Secure Shell connections are enabled by default.
The service processor supports a maximum of 10 active sessions, including serial,
SSH, and web interface sessions. You can view active sessions by entering the
command show /SP/sessions.
Note – Telnet connections to the service processor are not supported.
