AIM CLI Editor Setup and Use
AIM Editor Software provides a Command-line Interface (CLI) to configure, control and monitor the AIM
environment. It is distributed as part of Dell AIM Software Development Kit (SDK).
Starting CLI on Linux machine
The CLI can be accessed on a Linux machine with SDK installed. Typically the Linux machine running
the controller software has the SDK installed. In order to access the CLI:
Change to the directory where you installed the SDK (the default is /opt/dell/aim/bin):
# cd /opt/dell/aim/bin
# ./sdk shell=true
Starting CLI on Windows machine
A remote machine with a Windows server platform, capable of communicating with the AIM controller,
can also be used for hosting a remote AIM admin console and AIM Editor. The ‗setup_sdk‘ executable
available with the AIM software distribution should be used to set up the AIM Editor. AIM Simulator
software is also installed during this setup. On successful installation, open the Dell AIM Editor tool
present on the desktop.
Here are few commands to begin interacting with AIM environment:
- Login account=admin password=admin host=<controller IP address> protocol=http port=80
- Open: opens a fresh connection to the controller database.
- List <options>(switches / blades etc) : view the controller database contents
- Save <config/ all>: save the configuration changes made to the AIM environment
- Help: command that provides usage description of all other commands.
Note that you would want to change the controller IP address according to your configuration.
