Running SMCLP commands
You can run the SMCLP commands using SSH or Telnet interface. Open an SSH or Telnet interface and log in to iDRAC as an administrator.
The SMCLP prompt (admin ->)is displayed.
SMCLP prompts:
• yx1x blade servers use -$.
• yx1x rack and tower servers use admin->.
• yx2x blade, rack, and tower servers use admin->.
where, y is an alpha-numeric character such as M (for blade servers), R (for rack servers), and T (for tower servers) and x is a number.
This indicates the generation of Dell PowerEdge servers.
NOTE: Scripts using -$ can use these for yx1x systems, but starting with yx2x systems one script with admin-> can be used for
blade, rack, and tower servers.
iDRAC SMCLP syntax
The iDRAC SMCLP uses the concept of verbs and targets to provide systems management capabilities through the CLI. The verb indicates
the operation to perform, and the target determines the entity (or object) that runs the operation.
The SMCLP command line syntax:
<verb> [<options>] [<target>] [<properties>]
The following table provides the verbs and its denitions.
