SMASH Server Management Command Line Protocol

The Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) initiative is an effort within the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to standardize commands for servers. The Server Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) specifies common command line syntax and message protocol semantics for server management.

IMPORTANT: The current DMTF CLI implementation is a prestandard release and is subject to change. At this time, SMASH SM CLP is not the primary text user interface (TUI) or the primary scripting interface for the iLO 2 MP. The HP proprietary TUI is the primary text interface of the iLO 2 MP. The entire text user interface of the iLO 2 MP, available on telnet and SSH, supports all MP functionality. SMASH CLP does not support all iLO 2 MP features, and is a prototype implementation only.

SM CLP Features and Functionality Overview

SM CLP includes the following features:

•Provides a user-friendly method to view and manage server information with commands in formats that facilitate scripting.

•Offered in addition to the iLO 2 MP existing CLI.

•Uses scripts to automate some iLO 2 MP tasks, especially when you are setting up many identical servers.

•Available from any TUI (serial, telnet, and SSH).
