Session
Interacting with EM via the CLI requires a login-initiated session. A session represents a transient
context which has state that can be explicitly controlled by the user, whether it be an interhuman
user or a script. This section describes commands for managing session state and behavior.
CLEAR SCREEN
Syntax
CLEAR SCREEN
Description
Clears the terminal screen.
Restrictions
None
CONNECT SERVER
Syntax
CONNECT SERVER <bay#>
Description
Opens a Text Console session to the iLO specified by the server bay number. Exit from the session
with ‘exit’.
Restrictions
This command can function only if enclosure power is on and blade is present. Because the EM
hardware cannot determine if a blade is physically present unless enclosure power is on, the EM
reports the warning “ The blade is not present.’ if this command is issued when enclosure power
is off.
EXIT
Syntax
EXIT | LOGOUT | QUIT
Description
Exit the Command Line Interpreter.
Restrictions
None
HELP
Syntax
HELP [<command>]
Description
Show Help messages for or list the top level commands if no arguments are provided. Arguments
listed in braces( { } )and separated by the pipe symbol ( | ) are mutually exclusive choices.
Arguments listed in square brackets ( [ ] )are optional arguments and can be omitted. Fields listed
in angle brackets ( < > ) should be replaced with the value indicated.
