Fujitsu Comprehensive Guide to SMASH CLP Commands for Enhanced Management

Command Line Protocol (CLP)

8.15Command Line Protocol (CLP)

The iRMC S2/S3 supports various text-based user interfaces, known as user shells, which can be configured differently for individual users.

The System Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) initiative defines a number of specifications with the following objectives:

–Provision of standardized interfaces for managing heterogeneous computer environments,

–Provision of an architecture framework with uniform interfaces, hardware and software discovery, resource addressing and data models.

SMASH CLP syntax

SMASH CLP specifies a common command line syntax and message protocol semantics for managing computers on the Internet and in enterprise and service provider environments. You can find detailed information on SMASH CLP in the DMTF document “Server Management Command Line Protocol Specification (SM CLP) DSP0214”.

The general syntax of the CLP is as follows:

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

<verb>

Verbs specify the command or action to be executed. The list of verbs describes the following activities, for instance:

–Establish (set) and retrieve (show) data,

–Change the status of a target (reset, start, stop),

–Manage the current session (cd, version, exit),

–Return information on commands (help).

In iRMC S2/S3 systems, the verb oemfujitsu also allows the use of special OEM commands.
