Dell iDRAC8 iDRAC SMCLP Syntax

SMCLP prompts:
• yx1x blade servers use -$.
• yx1x rack and tower servers use admin->.
• yx2x blade, rack, and tower servers use admin->.
where, y is a alpha-numeric character such as M (for blade servers), R (for rack servers), and T (for tower
servers) and x is a number. This indicates the generation of Dell PowerEdge servers.
NOTE: Scripts using -$ can use these for yx1x systems, but starting with yx2x systems one script
with admin-> can be used for blade, rack, and tower servers.
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:
