Appendix B – System Management Architecture for
Server Hardware – Command Line Protocol
The Intel
®
RMM2 supports an interface to System Management Architecture for Server
Hardware (SMASH) and the associated Command Line Protocol (CLP). The SMASH v1.0
suite of specifications was released by the Distributed Management Task Force, Inc in
December 2006.
Command Line Protocol
The goal of the CLP specification is to reduce management complexity by delivering a human-
oriented interface that provides a uniform command set for controlling hardware. The CLP
allows users to execute common operations such as system power on and off, display hardware
event logs, or view sensor information.
A Telnet or SSH connection to the Intel
®
RMM2 allows the use of CLP commands. Telnet and
SSH are enabled under Device Settings > Network. You will be asked to enter your User
Name and Password. Once connected you will be at a prompt: “eSH>” One of the commands
available at the prompt is “clp”. This will take you to a new command prompt: “clp:/->” From
this prompt you are able to issue CLP commands.
CLP to CIM mapping
The CLP-to-CIM Mapping Specification is another specification from the SMASH suite. The
specification describes the common requirements for the mapping of CLP commands to
elements of CIM. The CLP target namespace needs to be mapped to appropriate CIM
(Common Information Model) classes and objects and target properties that are to be read or
manipulated by the SHOW or SET verbs. The CLP target namespace is organized in a tree
structure, the root of which is called the admin domain and is labeled by a single slash
character. All manageable devices are represented by targets subordinated somewhere in this
tree structure. Instances of a class are indicated by an instance number appended to the class
name:
