Command reference

Each command topic describes an Lenovo Flex SystemChassis Management Module 2 command-line interface command, providing information about its function, syntax, and usage, with examples.

Adding a -h, -help, or ? option to a command displays syntax help for that command. For example, to display help for the environment command, type one of the following commands:

  • env -h
  • env -help
  • env ?

You can target a command to a device other than the one that is set as the default by adding a -T option to a command. See Command targets for information.
