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. • SMASH SM CLP is not the primary text user interface (TUI) or the primary scripting interface for iLO 2. • The HP proprietary TUI is the primary text interface of iLO 2. • The entire text user interface of iLO 2, available on Telnet and SSH, supports all MP functionality. • SMASH CLP does not support all iLO 2 features, and is a prototype implementation only. • SMASH CLP is only available for entry class servers. 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 existing CLI. • Uses scripts to automate some iLO 2 tasks, especially when you are setting up many identical servers. • Available from any TUI (serial, Telnet, and SSH). • 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 iLO 2. The command is received and processed by iLO 2, 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. Accessing the SM CLP Interface When you log in to the iLO 2 MP, by default you access the MP Main Menu interface. To use the SM CLP, follow these steps: 1. Access the MP Main Menu. 152 Using iLO 2

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.
•
SMASH SM CLP is not the primary text user interface (TUI) or the primary scripting interface
for iLO 2.
•
The HP proprietary TUI is the primary text interface of iLO 2.
•
The entire text user interface of iLO 2, available on Telnet and SSH, supports all MP
functionality.
•
SMASH CLP does not support all iLO 2 features, and is a prototype implementation only.
•
SMASH CLP is only available for entry class servers.
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 existing CLI.
•
Uses scripts to automate some iLO 2 tasks, especially when you are setting up many identical
servers.
•
Available from any TUI (serial, Telnet, and SSH).
•
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 iLO 2. The command is received and processed by iLO 2,
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.
Accessing the SM CLP Interface
When you log in to the iLO 2 MP, by default you access the MP Main Menu interface. To use the
SM CLP, follow these steps:
1.
Access the MP Main Menu.
