iDRAC SMCLP Syntax

The iDRAC SMCLP uses the concept of verbs and targets to provide systems management capabilities through the CLI. The verb indicates the operation to perform, and the target determines the entity (or object) that runs the operation.

The SMCLP command line syntax:

<verb> [<options>] [<target>] [<properties>]
