General ATCA Diagnostics for the Shelf Management Module (ShMM)
The ATCA specification defines provisions for diagnosing ATCA components through the Shelf Management
Module, or “Shelf Manager” (ShMM). The ShMM functionality includes a command line interface (clia) that
can provide detailed diagnostic and management functions for all other configured ATCA components within
the HP bh5700 ATCA 14-Slot Blade Server. This section provides information on the ShMM diagnostic
capabilities only, and does not cover management.
Using the Command Line Interface
Using the clia interface, commands can be either manually entered one at a time or in the clia interactive
shell. To enter diagnostic commands, telnet to the ShMM (via the Ethernet Switch Blade if necessary), then
enter the clia command line environment as follows:
# clia <enter>
CLI>
Or, enter a clia command directly from the Linux prompt:
# clia <command> <enter>
The clia interface provides access to on-board help that either lists all commands (when used without
arguments) or provides detailed help for a specific command when the command name is provided (Example:
help alarm).
Diagnostic Commands
Command-line interface diagnostic and support commands are listed here. Table 3-1 lists available ShMM
