Text User Interface

This section provides information on the text user interface commands you can run in the iLO 2 MP.

NOTE: HP Integrity server blades do not have fans or power supplies. Therefore, their response to certain commands are different than a rack-mount server.

MP Command Interfaces

Table 6-1lists and describes the available MP command interfaces.

Table 6-1 MP Command Interfaces

MP Command Interface	Description
MP Main Menu	The MP Main Menu appears when you first access the iLO 2 MP. The MP Main Menu
	supports the basic MP commands for server control and the iLO 2 MP configuration,
	such as setting up the iLO 2 MP LAN, retrieving events, resetting and powering on control
	of the server, switching to the console, and so on. You can enter the MP Main Menu
	commands at the MP> prompt.
Command Menu	The Command menu provides a set of commands that help monitor and manage the
	server. It switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to command interface
	mode. You can access commands that are not displayed in the MP Main Menu by entering
	CM at the MP Main Menu and entering HE LI at the MP:CM> prompt to get a list of the
	available commands.
SMASH SM CLP	The Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH), Server
	Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) initiative is an effort within the
	Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to standardize commands for servers. The
	SMASH SM CLP specifies common command line syntax and message protocol semantics
	for server management.
	For information on using SMASH SM CLP scripting commands, see Section : “SMASH
	Server Management Command Line Protocol” (page 123).
