Configuring Devices
Assigning a Device Type and Command Template
During configuration, each device must be assigned a device type and most
devices must be assigned a command template .
The OnBoard administrator should not assign a command template when the
device is either of the following two types of devices:
• Any IPMI-type device (IPMI devices are managed using
ipmitool
commands)
• Any device being configured only for Native IP access
Device Types
The following lists each of the defined SP and device types.
• iLO
• RSA II
• DRAC
• IPMI 1.5
• device console
Three additional custom types may be assigned, but only if OnBoard
administrators have created customized scripts:
• custom1
• custom2
• custom3
Note: In most cases, the administrative user should not assign any of the
custom device types to a device. Assign a
custom N
type to a device only if
the default scripts and command templates cannot be made to work and only
if an OnBoard administrator has created a custom expect script with the same
number in its name. For details, see Appendix A, ‘Advanced Device
Configuration” on page 309.
Command Templates
As mentioned elsewhere, command templates contain text commands that are
used to interact with connected service processors/devices.
