Sun Microsystems CP3250 Shelf Manager Command-Line Interface, To Start the Command-Line Interface

C.1 Shelf Manager Command-Line Interface

The Shelf Manager command-line interface (CLI) can be used to communicate with the intelligent management controllers of the shelf, with blade servers, and with the Shelf Manager itself, through text commands. The CLI is an IPMI-based set of commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management application or a script. Administrators can access the CLI through a Telnet connection or the shelf management card serial port. Using the CLI, operators can access information about the current state of the shelf including current FRU population, current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall shelf health.

▼To Start the Command-Line Interface

1.To use the CLI, first log on to the Linux operation system on the shelf management card.

2.Once logged in, run the executable clia from the command line with specific parameters.

The first parameter is the command verb. The clia executable is located on the virtual root file system maintained by Linux running on the shelf management card. The clia executable connects to the main Shelf Manager software process, passes the command information to it, and retrieves the results. The Shelf Manager must be running prior to starting the CLI. For example:

#clia ipmc 20
