Chapter 1 Command Line Interface Help

This chapter provides the same help that you can access by using the help command in the command line interface (CLI).

You can access the CLI in two ways:

  • Through the n1sh shell, which uses an N1–ok> prompt. See the n1sh man page on the management server for more information.

  • Through the browser interface, which includes the n1sh shell in the Command Line pane.

Command Help

help Command

You can get CLI help in the following ways:

  • Type help command to describe the command and list the available command object commands. For example, help show.

  • Type help command object to display detailed usage information for the command object tuple. For example, help show server.

  • Type help object to display detailed information for the object. For example, help server.

The available commands are listed in the following table.

Command Line Interface Tips

This section contains a few tips to help you use the N1 System Manager CLI.

General Syntax

The general syntax for an N1 System Manager command is:


command object [object-value] [object [object-value]]* [attribute[=][attribute-value]]*

  • command – The action taken on the object.

  • object – A system-defined object that is fundamental to the operation being performed. The target of the operation is usually the first object in the command's syntax.

  • object-value – A value for the object, which is usually user-defined. Values containing spaces must be enclosed within quotation marks.

  • attribute – A system–defined and optional object that affects the way the operation is performed.

  • attribute–value – A user-defined value for the attribute. Values containing spaces must be enclosed within quotation marks.

For simplification purposes, the attribute term is usually used to describe both objects and keywords.

User-Defined Names

User-defined names, such as OS profile or group names, may include numbers, letters, and some special symbols. The following special symbols are prohibited: comma, asterisk, single quotes, double quotes, parenthesis, question mark, equal sign, and newline.

id Keyword

The id keyword is an optional keyword that can be used on the N1 System Manager CLI before some attribute values, typically for the server attribute value. The purpose of this keyword is to allow the use of an attribute value that is the same name as a reserved keyword (for example, a server named upgrade).

Equal Sign

The equal sign (=) can be used between attribute names and attribute values on the N1 System Manager CLI. For example, the following commands are equivalent:


N1-ok> set role MyRole description myDescription
N1-ok> set role MyRole description=myDescription

The equal sign variant is not shown in the CLI help.

Script Comments

When creating a customized n1sh script, you can specify the comment character (#) at the beginning of the line to indicate that the rest of the line should be ignored. See To Run a Script of N1 System Manager Commands in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Discovery and Administration Guide for more information.

Multiple Attribute Values

Where allowed, multiple attribute values can be specified as a comma–separated list on the N1 System Manager command line. For example:


N1-ok> set server serverA,serverB,serverC locator on

In the CLI help, multiple attribute values are shown using the following syntax notation: set server <server>[,<server>...]

Note –

Spaces are not allowed between commas.

Quotation Marks

Single and double quotation marks are supported in the n1sh shell mode. If needed, either type of quotation mark can be escaped using the backslash character. For example:


N1-ok> set role myRole description "Some Role that I've made up"
N1-ok> set role myRole description='Some Role that I\'ve made up'

Special Characters in UNIX Command Mode

Depending on the shell you are using to run n1sh in UNIX command mode, some special characters may need to be escaped. For example, in the bash shell, quotation marks need to be escaped with the backslash character, like this: 


$ n1sh set role MyRole description=\"Some Role that \\\"Paul\\\" made up\"

Or, you can use single quotation marks to escape double quotation marks:


$ n1sh set role MyRole description='"Some Role that \\"Paul\\" made up"'

See your specific shell's documentation for more information about escaping special characters.

In the n1sh shell mode, you do not have to escape special characters, so the same command described above would appear as follows:


N1-ok> set role MyRole description="Some Role that \"Paul\" made up"

Hiding Passwords

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

add

This command adds a member to an object or group.

Description

The add command can be used on the following objects: group, osprofile, role, server, and user.

Type help add object for details.

add group

This command adds servers to an existing server group so you can more easily perform management operations on multiple servers. See create group for information about how to create a new server group.

  • privilege – The name of a privilege to add to the role. Use the show privilege all command to list all available privileges.

add server

This command adds the N1 System Manager features to a server.

Description

To benefit from some of the N1 System Management functionality, you must add features to the servers. The two types of features are base management and OS monitoring. The base management feature is required for basic OS monitoring, OS updates, and remote commands. The OS monitoring feature provides advanced OS monitoring, including support for threshold monitoring. When a feature is added, the feature is installed on the server, the specified agent credentials are set, and the feature becomes supported on the server. In the case of the OS monitoring feature, monitoring is also enabled if not already enabled. The Base Management Supported and OS Monitoring Supported fields in the show server output provide the current support status on a server's features.

There are some situations when you need to use the upgrade keyword to upgrade the existing features on a server. Refer to the N1 System Manager Discovery and Administration Guide for more information

Synopsis

  • Add the OS monitoring and base management features to a server:


    add server server feature osmonitor agentip agentip agentssh agentssh
[agentsnmp agentsnmp] [agentsnmpv3 agentsnmpv3]

  • Add the base management feature to a server:


    add server server feature basemanagement agentip agentip agentssh agentssh

  • Upgrade a feature on a server:


    add server server feature feature upgrade [agentip agentip agentssh agentssh]

Parameters

  • agentip – Specify the IP address used for the management features on the server, including OS monitoring. The agentip is usually the IP address of the provisioning network interface on the server.

  • agentsnmp – Specify the SNMP credentials used for OS monitoring on the server. The agentsnmp format is a read community string. The default SNMP read community string is public.

  • agentsnmpv3 – Specify the SNMP Version 3 credentials used for OS monitoring on the server. The agentsnmpv3 format is a user name/password pair: snmpv3-username/snmpv3-password. You can type a question mark (?) if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you issue the command, you are prompted for the user name/password.

  • agentssh – Specify the SSH credentials used for the management features on the server, including OS monitoring. The SSH user must have root access on the server. The agentssh format is a user name/password pair for SSH credentials: ssh-username/ssh-password. You can type a question mark (?) if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you issue the command, you are prompted for the user name/password.

  • basemanagement – Add or upgrade the base management feature, which is required for OS update deployment and remote commands.

  • feature – Valid values are basemanagement and osmonitor.

  • osmonitor – Add or upgrade the OS monitoring feature, which also includes the base management feature. The OS monitoring feature is required to monitor a server's OS resource health state. See the show server command for more information.

Type help connect server for details.

connect server

This command connects you to the serial console of a server.

Description

You can use the connect server command to monitor installations or perform administration tasks. For most hardware platforms, the first user to log in is given read and write privileges on the serial console, and subsequent user sessions are read-only mode. Some platforms don't allow multiple serial console sessions on the same server. You can exit the serial console at any time through the following escape sequences:

— ALOM-based systems: # .

— Sun Fire(TM) X4000 series systems: ESC (

— Sun Fire V20z and Sun Fire V40z systems: ^E c .

This command is not available in the browser interface's command line, but you can access a server's serial console in the browser interface by choosing Open Serial Console in the Actions menu on a Server's Details page. Also, because this command requires user input, do not use it in a custom N1 System Manager script through the n1sh -f command.

Synopsis

  • Connect to a server's serial console.


    connect server server

Parameters

  • server – The management name of a server.

create os

This command is used in three different ways to provide an OS distribution for a server.

Description

The three different ways to use this command are:

– For the Windows OS, you configure a link to an existing RIS server.

– For a Solaris/Linux OS, you copy an OS image from ISO files, CDs, or a DVD. Note that N1 System Manager does not support copying Solaris OS CDs and CD ISO files. You must copy a Solaris DVD or DVD ISO file.

– To set up diskless clients, you configure a link to a diskless client image. The diskless client feature is not available for the Windows OS.

ABOUT COPYING SOLARIS/LINUX OS IMAGES

Solaris/Linux OS distributions are stored in different locations based on the various management server and OS combinations. See the N1 System Manager Site Preparation Guide for more information.

When copying an OS distribution from multiple installation CDs, you need to run the create os command multiple times with the same OS distribution name. For example, if you are trying to copy an OS distribution that is provided on two CDs, you must insert the first CD, run the create os command, and wait for the job to complete. Once the first job completes, you then must insert the second CD, run the create os command again, and wait for the job to complete. The OS distribution is successfully installed when the second job completes.

When copying the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 SP1 distribution, you must run the create os command multiple times. First, copy the SLES 9 base distribution. When that job finishes, you can then copy the SLES 9 Update 1 distribution.

A default OS profile configured for Sun Fire V20z servers is automatically created for each newly created OS distribution, with the same name as the OS distribution. The default profile is provided as an example. You can either update the default profile to match your hardware or create a new profile. Use the show osprofile osprofile command to list the configuration of an OS profile.

Synopsis

  • Copy a Solaris or Linux OS image from ISO files:


    create os os file file[,file...] type type

  • Copy a Solaris or Linux OS image from an installation CD/DVD:


    create os os cdrom cdrom type type

  • Configure a link to an existing Windows RIS server:


    create os os type windows arch arch languageedition languageedition 
rissourcepath rissourcepath version version

  • Configure a link to a diskless client image:


    create os os type type format diskless kernelimage kernelimage 
[bootimage1 bootimage1] [bootimage2 bootimage2] [tftpserver tftpserver]

Parameters

COPYING A SOLARIS OR LINUX OS IMAGE

discover

This command discovers and adds new servers to be managed by the N1 System Manager.

Description

See the Sun N1 System Manager Site Preparation Guide for information about setting up a new server for discovery.

You can discover a server in three different ways: management network interface (SP-based discovery), provisioning network interface (OS-based discovery), or MAC address (manual discovery).

For SP-based discovery, each hardware platform requires a minimum set of credentials to be discovered. See the Sun N1 System Manager Site Preparation Guide for the list of system-specific default credentials that the discovery process uses if you do not specify credentials.

Note that the available N1 System Manager features for a server depend on how the server is discovered. Refer to the “Discovering Servers” chapter in Sun N1 System Manager Discovery and Administration Guide for more information.

Synopsis

  • Discover servers through their management network interface (SP-based discovery):


    discover ip[,ip...] format ip [group group] [ipmi ipmi] [snmp snmp] [ssh ssh]
[telnet telnet]

  • Discover servers through their provisioning network interface (OS-based discovery):


    discover ip[,ip...] format ip ssh ssh [group group] [ipmi ipmi] [snmp snmp]
[telnet telnet]

  • Discover servers through their MAC addresses (manual discovery):


    discover file format file [group group]

Parameters

  • file – Specify a fully qualified path to an XML file containing server MAC addresses. For details about creating this file, refer to the “Discovering Servers” chapter in the Sun N1 System Manager Discovery and Administration Guide.

  • format – The type of discovery to perform. Valid values are ip and file.

  • ip – Specify the management or provisioning network IP addresses of the servers you want to discover. You can specify multiple instances of ip, separated by commas, in one of the following ways:

    • ip-address – A single IP address.

    • ip-address–ip-address – A range of IP addresses. Example: 10.5.10.1-10.5.10.100

    • subnet/mask-length – A subnet with a mask length. Example: 10.0.8/24 or 10.0.8.128/28

  • group – The name of a server group in which to add the discovered servers. If the server group does not exist, it will be created during the discovery.

  • ipmi – Specify the IPMI credentials used to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's network IP address. The ipmi value is an IPMI user name/password pair. If IPMI credentials are not specified and a Sun Fire V20z or Sun Fire V40z server is in the factory default state, the discovery process sets the server's IPMI user/password to Null/admin. The default IPMI credentials used for discovery depend on your server model.

    You can type a question mark (?) if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you issue the command, you are prompted for the user name/password.

  • snmp – Specify the SNMP credentials used to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's network IP address. The snmp format is a read community string for the SNMP credentials. The default SNMP read community string is public.

  • ssh – Specify the SSH credentials used to authenticate the discovery process based on the server's network IP address. The ssh format is a user name/password pair for SSH credentials: ssh-username/ssh-password. If SSH credentials are not specified and a Sun Fire V20z or Sun Fire V40z server is in the factory default state, the discovery process sets the server's SSH user name/password to admin/admin. The default SSH credentials used for discovery depend on your server model.

    You can type a question mark (?) if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you issue the command, you are prompted for the user name/password.

  • telnet – Specify the telnet credentials used to authenticate the discovery process based on server's network IP address. The telnet credential is used only by ALOM-based systems. The telnet format is a user name/password pair for telnet credentials: telnet-username/telnet-password. The default telnet credentials used for discovery depend on your server model.

    You can type a question mark (?) if you do not want the password to display in the command line. Once you issue the command, you are prompted for the user name/password.

exit

This command exits you out of the N1–ok> shell. If the N1–ok> shell is your default shell, you will be logged out of the N1 System Manager completely; otherwise, you will be returned to your previous shell on the management server.
