Command Line Interface

This section provides information about the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Server Management-Command Line Protocol (SM-CLP) that is incorporated in the iDRAC6.

NOTE: This section assumes that you are familiar with the Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Initiative and the SM-CLP specifications. For more information on these specifications, see the DMTF website at www.dmtf.org.

The iDRAC6 SM-CLP is a protocol that provides standards for systems management CLI implementations. The SM-CLP is a subcomponent of the DMTF SMASH initiative to streamline server management across multiple platforms. The SM-CLP specification, in conjunction with the Managed Element Addressing Specification and numerous profiles to SM-CLP mapping specifications, describes the standardized verbs and targets for various management task executions.
