Utilities
Management Processor Command Interface
152
The MP Host Name set in this command displays at the MP command interface prompt. This field can be
programmed to any useful name or phrase. For clarity, it is useful to enter
MP-host-name -on- system as the
MP Host name, so both names show up in the prompt (limit 19 characters, no spaces allowed).
Configure LDAP Parameters
LDAP: Configure LDAP parameters and group administrators.
LDAP directory support is an MP Advanced feature that allows you to centralize user account administration
using directory services. Configure directory settings with the LDAP command.
• LDAP Directory Authentication: activates or deactivates directory support on this MP. If directory
authentication is enabled and configured properly, users may log into MP using directory credentials. If it
is disabled, user credentials are not validated using the directory.
• Local User Accounts: Includes or excludes access to local MP user accounts. If local user accounts are
enabled, a user may log into MP using locally-stored user credentials (created via UC command). If they
are disabled, user access is limited to valid directory credentials only.
NOTE Locally-stored user accounts can be active while directory support is enabled. This allows both
local- and directory-based user access. If both directory authentication and local user accounts
are enabled, login is attempted against the directory first, then local accounts.
Locator LED Status
LOC: Locator LED Status
This command displays the current status of the server blade locator LED, and the enclosure LED.
LAN Status
LS: LAN Status
This command displays all parameters and the current status of the MP LAN connections. The LAN
parameters are not modified by the execution of this command.
Return to Main Menu
MA: Return to MP Main Menu
This command makes the MP return to the non mirrored MP Main Menu. This is the same as executing
CTRL+B.
Power Control
PC: Power Control—turn system power on and off
This command allows you to switch the system power on or off. You can set the action to take place
immediately, or after a specified delay. For proper system shutdown, shut down the OS before issuing this
command or use the graceful shutdown option. This command also allows control of the power management
module. It allows you to switch the system ON politely (requesting the enclosure management module [EMM]
for required power), FORCE ON (without requesting EMM for required power [not recommended]), or OFF.
Use the command to power cycle the server blade (restart after a fixed delay).
