BMC CLI commands that display real-time information

Using the BMC CLI commands in admin mode, you can view information such as the BMC version and configuration, system console log history, storage system events, and storage system power status. Using the BMC CLI commands in advanced mode, you can view information about the BMC battery and active BMC network services.

Using the BMC CLI commands in admin mode, you can view the following information:
  • The storage system information (system show)
  • BMC version and system information (bmc show)
  • BMC configuration information (bmc config)
  • The state of BMC sensors (sensors show)
  • The system console log history (system log)
  • Storage system events logged by the BMC (events {all | info | latest [N] | oldest [N] | search [attr=N] | show [N]})
  • The storage system power status (system power status)
  • Chassis FRU information (fru show)
  • Current privilege level (priv)
Using the BMC CLI commands in advanced mode, you can view the following information:
  • BMC battery information (battery show)
  • Active BMC network services (service info)
