C.1 Shelf Manager Command-Line Interface
The Shelf Manager command-line interface (CLI) can be used to communicate with
the intelligent management controllers of the shelf, with blade servers, and with the
Shelf Manager itself, through text commands. The CLI is an IPMI-based set of
commands that can be accessed directly or through a higher-level management
application or a script. Administrators can access the CLI through a Telnet
connection or the shelf management card serial port. Using the CLI, operators can
access information about the current state of the shelf including current FRU
population, current sensor values, threshold settings, recent events, and overall shelf
health.

To Start the Command-Line Interface
1. To use the CLI, first log on to the Linux operation system on the shelf
management card.
2. Once logged in, run the executable
clia
from the command line with specific
parameters.
The first parameter is the command verb. The
clia
executable is located on the
virtual
root
file system maintained by Linux running on the shelf management
card. The
clia
executable connects to the main Shelf Manager software process,
passes the command information to it, and retrieves the results. The Shelf
Manager must be running prior to starting the CLI. For example:
# clia ipmc 20
