Introduction for Authorized Users > Management Features Available to Authorized Users

Management Features Available to Authorized Users
The following table describes the management features for the different types of managed devices. These features are available a user through the Web Manager, through the onbdshell menu, and through the ssh utility on the command line. The first column shows the following:
The command name used with ssh on the command line to access the feature.
The “Device” column shows the type of device that supports each feature (“dev” for device without a service processor and “SP” for a service processor).
Web Manager Option /
onbdshell Option /
 
ssh Command
 
Service Processor Console / Access the service processor’s console / spconsole
Gives access to the service processor’s console (sometimes called the native command interface or NCI).
 
Device Console /
Access the device’s console / devconsole
A device without a service processor that presents a command line interface through its Ethernet port
 
Power /
Manage power / power
In the Web Manager, brings up a screen with the power management options. When access to the service processor goes through the OnBoard’s console, brings up a list of power management options. When the user performs power management directly on the service processor using the ssh command, power management options are performed using power management commands. Some types of service processors offer multiple options for powering off and power cycling a server. For details, see What the Power Commands Do on Different Servers.
The following rows show the Web Manager and OnBoard shell menu options and the name of the power management commands that can be executed directly on the service processor using the ssh command from the user’s computer.
 
 
 
Web Manager / onbdshell Option
ssh Command
 
 
Turn power on / Turn power on
 
 
Turn power off / Turn power off
 
 
Power cycle / Turn power off then on
 
 
 
Check power status /Get power status
Reset /
reset
Resets the server where the service processor resides. Various type of resets are available on service processors. See What the Reset Command Does on Different Servers.
 
Sensors /
sensors
Displays unformatted sensor data collected from the server by its service processor. The page provides a button that displays graphs of data from individual sensors.
 
Manage the event log  /
sel
Displays the system event log (SEL) menu from the server where the service processor resides. Events are messages logged when system management events are detected. The events can be logged by the service processor or by the server. The user can view or clear event logs directly on the service processor using the ssh command.
 
 
 
Web Manager / onbdshell Option
ssh Command
 
 
sel
 
 
Native IP /
Enable native IP / nativeipon
Disable native IP / nativeipoff
Used when a service processor supports access to a native web application or provides a management application that runs on the user’s computer. For “Native IP” to be available, a VPN connection must be active between the remote computer and the OnBoard. When the option to enable native IP is chosen, the user can then do one of the following:
Launch a browser on the remote computer to bring up the native web application
Note: Instead of using a VPN tunnel, a user may use a ssh tunnel to access a device’s native web application without going through the Web Manager or the OnBoard’s console. For more details, see Accessing a Device’s Native Management Features.
 
Note: When a connected device does not have a service processor., “Device Console” and “Native IP” are the only management features available by default. The OnBoard command templates and device management Expect scripts can be customized to make other management features available.
