Using iDRAC6 Enterprise

SM-CLP Command Line Interface

This section provides information about the Server Management Workgroup

(SMWG) Server Management-Command Line Protocol (SM-CLP) that is

incorporated in iDRAC6.

NOTE: This section assumes that you are familiar with the Systems Management

Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Initiative and the SMWG SM-CLP

specifications. For more information on these specifications, see the Distributed

Management Task Force (DMTF) website at dmtf.org.

iDRAC6 SM-CLP is a protocol driven by the DMTF and SMWG to provide

standards for systems management CLI implementations. Many efforts are

driven by a defined SMASH architecture that is targeted as a foundation for a

more standardized systems management set of components. The SMWG

SM-CLP is a subcomponent of the overall SMASH efforts driven by DMTF.

SM-CLP provides a subset of the functionality provided by the local

RACADM command line interface, but with a different access path. SM-CLP

executes within iDRAC6, while RACADM executes on the managed server.

Also, RACADM is a Dell proprietary interface, where SM-CLP is an industry

standard interface.

NOTE: Information about the Dell profiles and MOFs are available on the Dell

Enterprise Technology Center at delltechcenter.com and all DMTF information is

available on the DMTF website at dmtf.org/standards/profiles/. Further, Dell
