ip, user, passwd, spprofilename

These four arguments separately represent the IP address, username, password or profile name of

the device on the MergePoint SP manager.

action

The action specifies the action for the script to take. The actions are listed below. Not all

device types implement all of the listed actions. For example, the iLO type does not have a

sensors reading feature, so the sensors action is not supported for iLO type servers. See Service

processor/device Expect script exit codes on page 209 for the correct way to handle an

unexpected action argument.

• Sensors: Asks the service processor for a sensor reading and displays service processor

sensor output on standard output.

• poweron: Asks the service processor to turn on its server.

• poweroff: Asks the service processor to turn off its server.

• powercycle: Asks the service processor to reboot its server.

• powerstatus: Asks the service processor if its server is turned on.

• reset: Asks the service processor to reset its server.

• spconsole: The native command line of the service processor. Enters interactive

passthrough mode. The script authenticates with the service processor, then connects the

output directly to its standard output and its standard input to the input.

NOTE: SSH must be invoked with the -t option when this mode is used.

• devconsole: Enters a console (also known as device console) session on a server whose

service processor supports console access to the server or enters a console session on a

server or other device that supports device console access through its Ethernet port.

NOTE: SSH must be invoked with the-t option when this mode is used.
