Further Management Information

Configuring Scripting Capabilities

A system administrator can log in to the Service Processor (SP) using secure shell
(SSH) and issue commands, or more commonly, write a shell script that remotely
invokes these operations.
Note – You must create a valid initial manager account before using SSH. The SP
includes a setup account that can be used to set up an initial manager account. This
initial manager user can create additional users.
For more information on the initial manager account, see "Part II: Securing the SP"
on page 18.
The SP includes a suite of commands that enables management and monitoring of
the server; this suite of commands is referred to as server management commands.
From the command line, for instance, you can write data driven scripts that
automate configuration of multiple machines.
The Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z Servers Network Share Volume CD contains
sample scripts for getting started, which you can access after you extract the files on
the CD. See "Network Share Volume (NSV) CD-ROM" on page 116 for more
information about the script locations.
