System administration of the Dell S5000 Series servers includes alert and event monitoring and tasks such as configuration, updates, and information collecting. The following tools are available for system administration.
The SHC configures the baseboard management controller to remotely operate, monitor, and maintain server hardware. You can access the SHC through the administration network using a web browser (HTTP/S). User authentication is based on Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) users or the LDAP/Active Directory.
The SHC UI has four tabs, as shown in the following figure:
RHM IPMI-based commands are used to manage servers. Use these commands to:
The following figure shows the RHM CLI interfaces:
This section provides examples of the BSM CLI commands that are used to manage S5000 servers.
The command syntax is: bsm<feature>.sh -H <target BMC IP> -u <user> -p <password> <options>
Example: bsmpower.sh.
The following table lists specific hardware management CLIs and the command output:
Command name | Command and output | Example |
BSM CLI power management | bsmpower.sh -h Lists the help pages (-h) for any BSM CLI command with CLI syntax | N/A |
BSM CLI sensor command
| bsmsensor.sh Lists values of all the platform sensors at a given time
| bsmsensor.sh -H 141.112.43.106 bsmsensor.sh -H 141.112.43.106 –s <SensorID> bsmsensor.sh -H 141.112.43.106 –s ‘’ -I <ModuleID> bsmsensor.sh -H 141.112.43.106 –t <SensorType> |
BSM CLI information command
| bsminfo.sh Displays BMC information | N/A |
BSM CLI: module information commands
| bsmGetModuleLevelInfo.sh get module information (id, model, etc.) bsmGetPartitionLevelInfo.sh get partition information (name,composition) bsmGetPlatformLevelInfo.sh get platform information (id,name,mod count) bsmSetPartitions.sh platform partitioning
| N/A |
BSM CLI boot device commands

|
|
BSM CLI: BIOS information commands*
| bsmBios.sh Displays BIOS information | bsmBios.sh -H xx.xx.xx.xx -u super -p xxxx -a getBiosInfo |
| bsmBiosSettings.sh Lists, gets, or sets BIOS settings* | N/A |
Note: Only qualified personnel are authorized to use these CLIs!
You can perform firmware update tasks using the BSM CLI or through the UI using SHC.
bsmFwGlobalUpg.sh –H -u super –p xxxx -a diff –D <TS mount point>
./bsmFwGlobalUpg.sh -H xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -u super -p xxxx -a check -M all -D /cygdrive/e -o TS_Verify_modules.txt
where -M all is for all modules
Use M 0 for a master module and M 16 for UBOX device in a 16-socket Dell 5416 server.
Notes:
• For systems including a UBox, if the firmware of any of the FPGA components of the UBox has been updated, reset the Local Management Controller (LMC).
In one step, run:
bsmFwGlobalUpg.sh –H -u super –p xxxx -a upg –D <mount point>
//copy on SDCard then update from SDCard temporarily stored in /mnt/sdcard/firmwares/
In two steps, run:
bsmFwGlobalUpg.sh –H -u super –p xxxx -a copy –D <mount point>
// copy in SDCard stored in /mnt/sdcard/TSnb/firmwares/
bsmFwGlobalUpg.sh –H -u super –p xxxx -a upd –t
// update from SDCard read from /mnt/sdcard/TSnb/firmwares/
