About the ALOM Command Shell


The ALOM command shell is a simple command-line interface that allows you to interact with ALOM. Through the ALOM command shell, you can administer, diagnose, or control the host server, and you can configure and manage ALOM. You are in the ALOM command shell when you see the sc> prompt.

ALOM supports a total of four concurrent Telnet sessions and one serial session per server. This means that you can run five command shell operations at once.

After you log in to your ALOM account, the ALOM command prompt (sc>) appears, and you can enter ALOM commands.

Note: Some of these commands are also available through the scadm utility as commands.

How to Enter Command Options

If the command you want to use has multiple options, you can either enter the options individually or grouped together, as shown in this example. These two commands are identical.

sc> poweroff -f -y

sc> poweroff -fy
