34 Configuring iDRAC6 Enterprise
SM-CLP 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
smclp at the CLI prompt.
SM-CLP commands implement a useful
subset of the local RACADM commands.
The commands are useful for scripting since
you can execute these commands from a
management station command line. You can
retrieve the output of commands in well-
defined formats, including XML, facilitating
scripting and integration with existing
reporting and management tools.
IPMI 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).
PEFs cause iDRAC6 to perform specific
actions (for example, rebooting the managed
server) when it detects a condition. PETs
instruct 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.
