The following is a quick reference list that provides MP Command mode activities:
To access the Command menu, enter CM at the MP Main Menu.
To see all the available commands, enter HE LI at the MP:CM> prompt.
To access the Command menu help, enter HE at the MP:CM> prompt. The Command menu help
provides information on all the Command menu items.
To modify the inactivity timeout, enter the IT command. The inactivity timer aborts a command
if you do not complete it within a certain time period.
To abort most commands, enter Q at the point when the iLO MP is asking for input.
To return to the MP Main Menu from any of these commands, press Ctrl-B.
Command Line Interface Scripting
A command line interface is provided for all commands to assist you in scripting. This section
provides syntax examples used in the iLO MP command-line or scripted interface.
Typically, tools like Expect (see “Expect Script Example” (page 53)) and (http://expect.nist.gov/)
are used to string together several commands to accomplish a task. These scripting tools enable
you to write a script for one iLO MP, and use it to apply the same commands to additional iLO
MPs. Scripting tools have capabilities that enable you to do the following:
• Write scripts that make decisions based on the output of commands
• Use variables in the script to customize it for each target automatically
• Compensate for delays in output
Scripting tools and the command-line interfaces enable you to carry out commands to multiple
iLO MPs such as setting the IP address on 10 iLO MPs pulled from a list of 10 IP addresses read
