How to manage the storage system with the BMC

The BMC enables you to manage the storage system by using the BMC CLI. The BMC CLI has the same features available in the Data ONTAP CLI.

Like the Data ONTAP CLI, the BMC CLI provides two privilege levels, admin and advanced, with different command sets.

• Online help at the BMC CLI
  The BMC online help displays all the available BMC commands when you entering the question mark (?) or help at the BMC prompt.
• What you can do in BMC admin mode
  In the BMC admin mode, you can use the BMC commands to perform most tasks.
• What you can display in BMC advanced mode
  The BMC advanced commands display more information than is available in administrative mode, including active BMC network services, storage system events logged by the BMC, and BMC battery information.
• Connecting to the storage system console from the BMC
  The BMC's system console command enables you to log in to the storage system from the BMC.
• Managing the controller module power of the storage system from the BMC
  The BMC's system power command enables you to turn the power on or off or to power-cycle the storage system remotely.
