Chapter 7. Command-line interface

Use the IMM command-line interface (CLI) to access the IMM without having to
use the Web interface. It provides a subset of the management functions that are
provided by the Web interface.

You can access the CLI through a Telnet or SSH session. You must be authenticated
by the IMM before you can issue any CLI commands.

Managing the IMM using IPMI

The IMM comes with User ID 2 set initially to a user name of USERID and
password of PASSW0RD (with a zero, not the letter O). This user has Supervisor
access.

Important:

Change this default password during your initial configuration for
enhanced security.

The IMM also provides the following IPMI remote server management capabilities:

Command-line interface

The command-line interface provides direct access to server-management
functions through the IPMI 2.0 protocol. You can use IPMItool to issue
commands to control server power, view server information, and identify
the server. For more information about IPMItool, see “Using IPMItool” on
page 68.

Serial over LAN

To manage servers from a remote location, use IPMItool to establish a
Serial over LAN (SOL) connection. For more information about IPMItool,
see “Using IPMItool” on page 68.

Accessing the command line

To access the command line, start a Telnet or SSH session to the IMM IP address
(see “Serial-to-Telnet or SSH redirection” on page 27 for more information).

Logging in to the command-line session

To log in to the command line, complete the following steps:
1.

Establish a connection with the IMM.

2.

At the user name prompt, type the user ID.

3.

At the password prompt, type the password that you use to log in to the IMM.
You are logged in to the command line. The command-line prompt is system>.
The command-line session continues until you type exit at the command line.
Then you are logged off and the session is ended.
