HP Integrity iLO 3 Operations Guide

Command menu commands and standard command line scripting syntax
The following list of commands is provided to familiarize you with the Command menu commands.
Command-line interface scripting syntax for each command is provided to help you accomplish a
scripting task. The following rules apply to scripting syntax:
• The -nc (no confirmation) is optional. This special keyword designates that no user confirmation
is required to run the command. If you enter -nc at the end of the command line, the command
is issued without asking you for user input. Without the -nc option, you are asked to confirm
the changes. The only exception to this rule is when a password must be entered. In that case,
you are prompted for a password separately. However, commands that require a password
can have that password entered on the command line (FW, UC).
If -nc is specified on a command with no other parameters or with only a specific multilevel
selector, the command displays all or just the specific multilevel parameters. The absence of
a specific multilevel parameter on a command that has multilevels causes all the multilevel
parameters to display.
• Most commands accept -all default. This causes all parameters for that command to be
set to the default values.
• In some multilevel commands, you can use default to set that level to its default values.
• Further use of default on many individual parameters causes that parameter to be set to its
default value.
• -? (MP command-specific help) is optional. If you enter -? by itself with the command, a
usage display appears. In the event of an incorrect command line usage, in addition to the
error message, the usage display appears.
• Arguments in brackets [ ] are optional.
• Without any arguments, commands enter Menu Mode where individual selections can be
made or undone before command is confirmed.
BLADE: Display enclosure, bay, and Onboard Administrator information
NOTE: This command is available only on a server blade.
Command access level: Login access
The BLADE command facilitates the cabling and initial installation of HP Integrity server blades. It
also provides a quick view of the enclosure status.
Onboard administrator configuration
OA IP address IP address of the OA.
IMPORTANT: Integrity iLO 3 must have a reachable IP address as the
default gateway address. Since the OA is reachable, HP recommends using
the OA IP address as the gateway address for Integrity iLO 3. If you use
the Enclosure IP mode, this solution works during a failover. In the Enclosure
IP mode, a static IP address is assigned to the active OA, and during a
failover, the same IP address follows the active OA. If the OA IP address
is assigned using DHCP, the solution does not work. In such instances, HP
recommends manually changing the iLO 3 gateway address.
OA MAC address MAC address of the OA.
Server blade configuration
Rack name Logically groups together enclosures in a rack. The rack name is shared with the
other enclosures in the rack.
Rack UID Rack unique identifier.
