Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
Description
SM-CLP is the Server Management
Workgroup Server Management-Command
Line Protocol (SM-CLP) implementation
incorporated in iDRAC6. The SM-CLP
command line is accessed by logging in to
iDRAC6 using Telnet or SSH and typing
at the CLI prompt.
smclp
SM-CLP commands implement a useful
subset of the local RACADM commands.
The commands are useful for scripting since
they can be executed from a management
station command line. The output of
commands can be retrieved in well-defined
formats, including XML, facilitating scripting
and integration with existing reporting and
management tools.
IPMI defines a standard way for embedded
management subsystems, such as iDRAC6,
to communicate with other embedded systems
and management applications.
You can use iDRAC6 Web interface, SM-CLP ,
or RACADM commands to configure IPMI
Platform Event Filters (PEF) and Platform
Event Traps (PET).
PEF causes iDRAC6 to perform specific
actions (for example, rebooting the managed
server) when it detects a condition. PET
instructs iDRAC6 to send e-mail or IPMI alerts
when it detects specified events or conditions.
You can also use standard IPMI tools such as
IPMItool and ipmish with iDRAC6 when you
enable IPMI Over LAN.
