The Command Line Interface is the primary interface for managing the Enclosure Manager. This
CLI is accessed via secure shell protocol over the LAN. Using the CLI is necessary for functions not
possible through any other mechanism or interface. For example, creating and setting Enclosure
Manager user accounts and passwords can be done through no other interface. Remotely powering
ON or OFF the enclosure can be done only with the CLI.
Command line conventions
CLI input is case-insensitive except when otherwise noted. Commands are organized into a tree,
with approximately 30 base commands. Each of these commands can have any number of
subcommands. Subcommands can also have further subcommands. Each command used in this
appendix follows the conventions listed in the following table.
Table 16 Command line conventions

NOTE: All users logged into the CLI have administrator privilege. When a user account is created,
the account has administrator privilege.
Operational groups
Descriptions of the CLI commands are grouped below by functional areas instead of the parser
implementation which (as mentioned above) is a tree of commands, subcommands, and
sub-subcommands. The functional groups are:
• Authentication—user identity and authentication
• Time functions—Real Time Clock/Calendar control
• Role definition—access control
• Inventory and status—self explanatory
• Internet control—internal and external LAN management
• Server control –iLO dependent control of server
• Enclosure control—global control of enclosure, excluding JBOD management zone
• Forensic—global diagnostic context functions (not directed validation tests)
• Session—CLI session control
