Base commands

• The help command displays context-sensitive help.

  Entering help displays all supported commands. Entering <command help/?> displays the help message specific to that command.

• The exit command terminates the CLP session.
• The cd command sets the current default target. The context works like a directory path. The root context for the server is "/" and this is the starting point for a CLP system. By changing the context, you can shorten commands.

  For example, to find the current iLO 3 firmware version, you could enter the command show /map1/firmware version. However, if you enter the cd /map1/firmware command, then a simple show version command displays the information.

• The show command displays values of a property or contents of a collection target. For example:

  hpiLO-> show

  status=0

  status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED

  /

  Targets

  system1

  map1

  Properties

  Verbs

  cd version exit show

  The first line of information returned by the show command is the current context. In the example, / is the current context. Following the context is a list of subtargets (Targets) and properties (Properties) applicable to the current context. The verbs (Verbs) section shows which commands are applicable to this context.

  You can also specify the show command with an explicit or implicit context as well as a specific property. For example, an explicit context is /map1/firmware and is not dependant on the current context, while an implicit context assumes that the context specified is a child of the current context. If the current context is /map1 then a show firmware command displays the /map1/firmware data.

  If you do not specify a property, then all properties are shown. In the case of the /map1/firmware context, there are two properties available: version and date. If you execute show /map1/firmware date, only the date is shown.

• The create command creates a new instance of the MAP in the name space.
• The delete command removes instances of the MAP in the name space.
• The load command moves a binary image from a URL to the MAP.
• The reset command causes a target to cycle from enabled to disabled, and back to enabled.
• The set command sets a property or set of properties to a specific value, and resets iLO 3 to implement the changes.
• The start command causes a target to change its state to a higher run level.
• The stop command causes a target to change its state to a lower run level.
• The version command queries the version of the CLP implementation or other CLP elements. For example:

  hpiLO-> version

  status=0

  status_tag=COMMAND COMPLETED

  SM-CLP Version 1.0

• The oemhp_ping command determines if an IP address is reachable from the current iLO 3. For example :

  oemhp_ping 192.168.1.1

  where 192.168.1.1 is the IP address you are testing.
