Page 115: Chapter 7: Using The Cli Utility
CHA PTER Using the CLI Utility CLI Utility Overview An administrator can configure the MergePoint SP manager using the CLI utility. While in the CLI utility, an administrator can escape to the shell and when finished can return to the CLI utility. Administrators often prefer using the CLI utility over the web interface because they can run frequently performed CLI configuration commands from shell scripts or from text files that can be executed in batch mode.
Page 116: Interactive Mode
MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide When invoked without commands, CLI enters interactive mode; see Interactive mode on page 102. When the CLI utility is invoked with the option or is invoked from a script, the commands -f <file> are executed in batch mode from the specified file or script.

Page 184: Appendix D: Configuring The Bios Settings For Sol
MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide Appendix D: Configuring the BIOS Settings for SoL SoL enables the console output of a managed system to be redirected over an IPMI session over IP. This allows remote users to have text-based access to the BIOS, utilities, operating systems such as Command Line interfaces and Linux console and management services such as Microsoft's serial- based EMS.
Page 185: Appendix E: Configuring A Virtual Serial Port
Appendices Appendix E: Configuring a Virtual Serial Port The MergePoint SP manager has the ability to access target devices with iLO through the Virtual Serial port. To use this feature, you must enable the Virtual Serial port on both the BIOS Serial Console and EMS Console.
Page 186: Appendix F: Profile Configuration
MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide Appendix F: Profile Configuration The MergePoint SP manager uses profiles for handling communications with target devices. Profiles are introduced in Managing SP Profiles (Admin users only) on page 31. Administrator- modifiable parameters that are defined for each profile are Family and Command Template, either or both of which can be modified to enable communications with target devices that do not work out of the box.

MergePoint Service Processor Manager SP53XX Installer/User Guide Appendix G: Glossary and Acronyms The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) is a specialized micro-controller on an IPMI target device that monitors and logs environmental conditions, such as temperature, voltage and power supply. Common Information Model (CIM), developed by DMTF, is a common data model of a schema used to describe overall management information in a network or enterprise environment.
Page 197: Target Device
Appendices SMASH CLP Systems Management Architecture for Server Hardware (SMASH) Command Line Protocol (CLP) has been used to create commands that can be used to configure the MergePoint SP manager and configure and access target device groups through Telnet or SSHv2 sessions. Secure Shell (SSH) is a UNIX-based command interface and protocol that allows administrators to securely access a remote target device.
