Command Line Help

This section provides documentation errata in the command line help pages.

IPMI Credentials Require a User Name and Password (6344419)

Some parts of the command line tab help and the help pages show incorrect information about what to enter for IPMI credentials. All IPMI credential values in the command line require a user name and password pair value instead of just a password as documented. All IPMI values must be in the following syntax: user-name/password

Sun Fire V20z and V40z servers require only a password for IPMI credentials.

Hiding Passwords in the Command Line

You can enter a question mark (?) for any password attribute value if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you enter the command, you are prompted for the password. Examples include the rootpassword and agentssh attributes.

Specifying the force and netboot Attributes

The force and netboot attributes are documented in the command line help pages without a corresponding value. You must specify true as their values to provide a valid command, such as force=true or force true.

set user

The default role for the root user is automatically set to Admin after you reboot the management server or if you restart the N1 System Manager. It is still possible to set the root user's default role to a different role, but this is not a permanent assignment.

load group and load server

The following attributes have been added for the load group command and when specifying multiple servers with the load server command:

• bootnetworkdevice bootnetworkdevice – The server's provisioning network interface is used to install the server. Valid Solaris values are bge0 (default), bge1, bge2, and bge3. Valid Linux values are eth0 (default), eth1, eth2, eth3, and eth4.

• networkdevice networkdevice – (Linux only) The server's provisioning network interface after the server is installed. Default is eth0.

When installing the Red Hat 4 OS on Sun Fire X2100 servers, the bootnetworkdevice and networkdevice values must both be set to eth1. The default values do not work for this situation.
