-u username:[passwd]
Specifies the required authorization to access a partition other than the local system
(but can also be used as a loopback access to the local partition).
The
-h option is required if this option is used.
username specifies a configured user name on the target partition.
passwd specifies the password associated with the username. If this field is empty,
the command prompts for the password.
Note: This command is a Web-Based Enterprise Management (WBEM) Client
Application. The
-u option accesses the target partition using a Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) connection. If errors are reported, check that the conditions described
in the DEPENDENCIES section are satisfied.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on the command line may
pose a security risk in your environment. The ps (1) or other related commands can
be invoked in such a way as to display the command line of a process. In this situa-
tion, any authenticated user on the system can potentially see the password while
the process is executing. Hence, it is highly recommended not to specify the pass-
word on the command line, and instead allow the command to prompt for the pass-
word.
-h IPaddress|hostname
This option should only be used in combination with either the -u or -g option.
IPaddress|hostname specifies the IP address or hostname of the target partition (
-
u) or complex (-g).
-g [passwd] Allows access to the complex specified by the -h option. The accessed complex is
then considered the target complex. Access is via the service processor’s LAN port.
The
-h option is required if this option is used.
passwd specifies the IPMI password of the service processor. If this field is omitted,
the command prompts for the password.
If an error is reported when you attempt to connect using this option, check to see
that IPMI LAN access has not been disabled on the remote service processor.
Access to the complex via IPMI over LAN can be enabled or disabled by logging on
to the service processor and using the
SA command from the Command Menu.
The
-u and -g options are mutually exclusive.
SECURITY WARNING: Specifying the password directly on the command line may
pose a security risk in your environment. The ps (1) or other related commands can
be invoked in such a way as to display the command line of a process. In this situa-
tion, any authenticated user on the system can potentially see the password while
the process is executing. Hence, it is highly recommended not to specify the pass-
word on the command line, and instead allow the command to prompt for the pass-
word.
-a cell:[celltype]:[use_on_next_boot]:[failure_usage
][:clm_value]
Assigns the specified cell to the target partition. To assign multiple cells to the par-
tition, multiple -a options should be used.
cell specifies the cell id. It can be specified either in the local (cabinet# /slot# ) or glo-
bal (cell#) format. For example, the cell located in cabinet 0, slot 1 is identified in
the local format as 0/1 or in the global format as 1.
celltype specifies the type of the cell. The valid celltype value for cells is:
base This is the default if celltype is not specified.
use_on_next_boot specifies whether the cell will participate in a reboot. The valid
values for use_on_next_boot are:
y participate in reboot. This is the default. However if the slot is missing or
the cell does not exist or the cell is powered off then it defaults to n
n do not participate in reboot.
failure_usage field is used by system firmware when a partition is booted. If a CPU
selftest failure or a DIMM de-allocation occurs during the power-on self-test process
