SMCLP

The Server Management Command Line Protocol (SMCLP) specification enables CLI–based systems management. It

defines a protocol for management commands transmitted over standard character-oriented streams. This protocol

accesses a Common Information Model Object Manager (CIMOM) using a human-oriented command set. The SMCLP is

a sub-component of the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) SMASH initiative to streamline systems

management across multiple platforms. The SMCLP specification, along with the Managed Element Addressing

Specification and numerous profiles to SMCLP mapping specifications, describes the standard verbs and targets for

various management task executions.
