Introduction
CAUTION:
See the Safety, Environmental, and Regulatory Information document for important safety information before
following any procedures listed in this document.
An enclosure containing physical disk drives accessed through Enclosure Management Modules (EMMs) is called a storage enclosure. A
storage enclosure includes various hardware components, such as physical disk drives, EMMs, fans, and power supply units (PSUs).
One or more host servers attached to the storage enclosure can access the data on the storage enclosure. You can also establish multiple
physical paths between the hosts and the storage enclosure so that loss of any single path (for example, through failure of a host server
port) does not result in loss of access to data on the storage enclosure.
The storage enclosure is managed by the Server Hardware Management software running on a host server. On the host server system, the
management software and the storage enclosure communicate management requests and event information by using in-band SAS
connections.
Terminology
This document describes the functions of the Server Hardware Management software. The Server Hardware Management Software is
consists of two major components:
•
Server Hardware Manager Command Line Interface (SHM CLI) — This component provides a CLI used to obtain device and status
information of storage and hardware components. You can use the SHM CLI for firmware updates of Enclosure Management Modules
(EMMs) and hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) within the enclosure and system drives.
•
Server Hardware Monitor — This component runs continuously, monitoring and logging the status of storage components, including
enclosures, adapters, HBAs, EMMs, drives, and EMM components (such a fans, PSUs, and temperature sensors).
The document is organized into two major sections. The first section of this document describes the CLI commands required to perform
certain common tasks . The second section is a reference to all CLI commands ordered on the basis of command type.
