SHM CLI
This guide is intended for system administrators, developers, and engineers who need to use the SHM CLI and its associated commands.
For more information, see the hardware and software manuals that are shipped with the system.
NOTE:
For Server Hardware Manager 1.7 the secli executable is completely deprecated. The shmcli executable is used to run
Server Hardware Manager Command Line Interface. The shmcli maintains the command syntax from secli. You can replace secli
with shmcli in any existing scripts.
NOTE:
CLI commands do not have interactive warnings for destructive commands.
NOTE:
Always read the updates on Dell.com/support because they often supersede the information in other documents.
