50 Configuring CMC to Use Command Line Consoles
Using a Telnet Console With the CMC
Up to four Telnet client systems and four SSH clients may connect at any
given time. The management station connection to the managed system
Telnet console requires management station terminal emulation software. For
more information, see "Configuring Terminal Emulation Software" on
page 52.
Using SSH With the CMC
SSH is a command line session that includes the same capabilities as a Telnet
session, but with session negotiation and encryption to improve security. The
CMC supports SSH version 2 with password authentication. SSH is enabled
on the CMC by default.
NOTE: The CMC does not support SSH version 1.
When an error occurs during the login procedure, the SSH client issues an
error message. The message text is dependent on the client and is not
controlled by the CMC. Review the RACLog messages to determine the
cause of the failure.
NOTE: OpenSSH should be run from a VT100 or ANSI terminal emulator on
Windows. Running
OpenSSH at the Windows command prompt does not provide
full functionality (that is, some keys do not respond and no graphics are displayed).
For Linux, run SSH Client Services to connect to CMC with any shell.
Table 3-1. CMC Command Line Commands
Command Description
racadm RACADM commands begin with the keyword racadm and are
followed by a subcommand, such as getconfig, serveraction, or
getsensorinfo. See "Using the RACADM Command Line Interface"
on page 63 for details on using RACADM.
connect Connects to the serial console of a server or I/O module. See
"Connecting to Servers or I/O Modules With the Connect
Command" on page 59 for help using the connect command.
NOTE: The racadm connect command can also be used.
exit, logout,

These commands all perform the same action: they end the current
session and return to a login prompt.
