HP Integrity iLO 2 MP 5991-6005 manual Accessing the SM CLP Interface, SM CLP Session

•CLP sessions are independent from each other and nonmirrored.

•Provides a subset of MP CLI commands.

•Provides access to the MP Main Menu interface and system console interface.

SM CLP Session

Sessions between a client and an SM CLP service are established over a transport protocol. Once the session is authenticated, the client begins to submit commands using the SM CLP service.

The CLP is a command and response protocol (not a command-line interface). Each CLP command is sent over the transport protocol to the iLO 2 MP. The command is received and processed by the iLO 2 MP, which then transmits a response back to the CLP client. There are no interactive commands, so no state information is retained.

The privilege level of the logged-in user is checked against the privilege required for the command. The command is run only if a user has the privilege level required for that command.
