SP/Device Expect Script Arguments
With one exception, each of the
Expect
scripts used to control access to a
service processor takes exactly two arguments in the following format:
The exception to the two-argument format occurs when the
action
is
spconsole
. When the second argument is
spconsole
, any other number
of arguments may follow; all arguments entered after the
spconsole
action
are collected into a single command to be executed in the device’s native
command interface.
servername
The
servername
is the alias configured for the server or device on the
OnBoard, for example,
rsa_us
. The script retrieves service processor/device
specific information, such as the IP address, from the entry for the specified
service processor/device, using the
llconf
program. This information is
stored in the file
/etc/onboard_server.ini
, in the format known as ``INI
file.” For an example, see Table A-1, “
Entries With Templates Assigned,” on page 324.
