Supported CLI Syntax
The supported syntax entered in the Oracle ILOM CLI to execute commands is in the form of:
<verb>
[<-option>
]
[<target>
] [<property>
=<property_value
>]
Where:
-
<
verb
> — The term verb refers to a specific command or an action being performed. For instance, the use of a command verb enables retrieving and managing data (set, show), creating or deleting data (create, delete), modifying the state of a managed component (set, reset, start, stop), managing the current CLI session (cd, version, exit), as well as displaying command information (help).Note:
Only one command verb can be issued on a command line. -
<-
option
> — The term option refers to the command-option
that is used to modify the action or behavior of a command verb. For instance, the use of an option can provide features for changing the CLI output format, applying a command to nested levels, or executing a script to perform one or more actions.When entering an option on the command line, it can appear immediately after the command verb, and it must always be proceeded by a hyphen (
-
).Note:
Not all command verbs support options. Therefore, there might be zero or more options supported for an issued command verb. -
<
target
> — The term target refers to the address or path for the issued command verb. For instance, a target can reference individual managed components (for example, a disk, a power supply, a memory module), or a collection of managed components (for example, system).When entering a target on the command line, it can appear after the command verb but only one target can be referenced for each issued command verb.
-
<
property
> — The term property is the attribute of the target that might contain values that are needed to process the command. A property identifies a target's class which is retrieved or acted upon by the command. -
=<
property_value
> — The assignment operator (=
) is used to indicate a desired value to be assigned to a specified property.
