About the scadm Utility


The System Controller Administration (scadm) utility, which is part of the Solaris operating environment, allows you to perform many ALOM tasks while logged in to the host server. The scadm commands control several functions, and some allow you to view or set ALOM configuration variables.

You must be logged in to the host as root before you can use the scadm utility.

Note: The scadm utility does not work when you are running SunVTS™ software on the server.

The scadm utility sends its output to stdout. You can use scadm in scripts to manage and customize ALOM from the host system.

For more information about the scadm utility, refer to the scadm man page. Type man scadm at the system prompt. The man page for scadm is located on the Solaris HW Supplement CD for your version of the Solaris operating environment.
