Input
● —b <device> — Specifies the first boot device must be used with -o. Use with-m <module> to
specify for an individual server, or with an -a for all servers.
Legal values are: None, PXE, HDD, CD-DVD, vFDD, vCD-DVD, iSCSI, SD, FDD, RFS.
● -o no/yes — Indicates if the server must start from the device once. Use this option with -b option.
Use with -m <module> to specify for an individual server, or with -a for all servers.
● -a — server/switch. Applies options to all modules present in the chassis of the given module type.
Specify the value as server or switch. Default value is server. Switches must support Ethernet
Management.
● -u <username> — Indicates that the <password> is supplied for the root user on the server or
switch. Root is a constant parameter, the only value that is valid with the —u option.
● —m <module> — Specifies the server or switch you want to configure.
Legal values:
○ server-<n>, where n=1–16
○ server-<nx>, where n=1– 8; x = a,b,c,d (lower case)
○ switch-<n>, where n=1– 6
● -p <password> — Specifies the password for the root user on the server or switch. For switches,
valid passwords are 6–32 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value 32–125 (decimal). For servers,
valid passwords are 1–20 ASCII characters in length, ranging in value 32–126 (decimal).
● -s <ipaddress> <subnet> <gateway> — Sets the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for
the specified server.
○ ipaddress — A string representing a valid IP address. For example, 192.168.0.20.
○ subnet — A string representing a valid subnet mask. For example, 255.255.255.0.
○ gateway — A string representing a valid gateway address. For example, 192.168.0.1.
● -d — Enables DHCP for the specified server.
The -s and -d options cannot be used together in the same command.
● -6 — Enables IPv6 auto configuration (when used with -d). Sets static IPv6 addresses (when used
with -s).
● -v SNMPv2 <snmpCommunityString> ro — Specifies the SNMP community string for switches.
Valid community strings are 1–20 characters in length, with valid ASCII characters in the range [33–
125] (decimal). Protocol version set to SNMPv2. Permission on community string is read-only.
