Command Menu Commands and Standard Command Line Scripting Syntax

The following list of commands is provided to help you learn about 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 execute the command. If you enter -nc at the end of the command line, the

command is executed 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 their 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 arguments, the system prompts you for answers to questions.

• Entering a command without parameters takes you through the command interactively and

prompts you for all the options.

BP: Reset BMC passwords

Command access level: MP configuration access

BP resets the passwords that control the interface between the SFW and the BMC.

NOTE: The passwords that control the interface between the SFW and the BMC have nothing

to do with the MP login/passwords.

Setting these passwords at EFI, enables you to restrict access to various information. To clear these

passwords, use the BP command.

Command line usage and scripting:
