8 Using iLO 2
This chapter provides information on the different interfaces you can use to interact with iLO 2 such
as text user interface, web GUI, and SMASH SM CLP.
Text User Interface
This section provides information on the text user interface commands you can run in iLO 2.
NOTE: HP Integrity server blades do not have fans or power supplies. Therefore, their response
to certain commands are different than a rackmount server.
MP Command Interfaces
Table 22 lists and describes the available MP command interfaces.
Table 22 MP Command Interfaces
DescriptionMP Command Interface
The MP Main Menu appears when you first access the iLO 2 MP. The MP Main Menu
supports the basic MP commands for server control and the iLO 2 MP configuration, such
MP Main Menu
as setting up the iLO 2 MP LAN, retrieving events, resetting and powering on control of
the server, switching to the console, and so on. You can enter the MP Main Menu commands
at the MP> prompt.
The Command menu provides a set of commands that help monitor and manage the server.
It switches the console terminal from the MP Main Menu to command interface mode. You
Command Menu
can access commands that are not displayed in the MP Main Menu by entering CM at the
MP Main Menu and entering HE LI at the MP:CM> prompt to get a list of the available
commands.
The Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH), Server Management
Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) initiative is an effort within the Distributed Management
SMASH SM CLP
Task Force (DMTF) to standardize commands for servers. The SMASH SM CLP specifies
common command line syntax and message protocol semantics for server management.
NOTE: SMASH SM CLP commands are only available for entry class servers.
For information on using SMASH SM CLP scripting commands, see Section : “SMASH
Server Management Command Line Protocol” (page 141).
