Text User Interface
This section provides information on the text user interface commands you can run in the iLO
2 MP.
NOTE: HP Integrity server blades do not have fans or power supplies. Therefore, their response
to certain commands are different than a rack-mount server.
MP Command Interfaces
Table 6-1 lists and describes the available MP command interfaces.
Table 6-1 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 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.
MP Main Menu
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 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.
Command Menu
The Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH), Server
Management Command Line Protocol (SM CLP) initiative is an effort within the
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) to standardize commands for servers. The
SMASH SM CLP specifies common command line syntax and message protocol semantics
for server management.
For information on using SMASH SM CLP scripting commands, see Section : “SMASH
Server Management Command Line Protocol” (page 123).
