Software requirements

The information in this section describes the software requirements of OneCLI.

To run OneCLI, users should have administrator or root-equivalent operating system privileges for in-band functions running inside server host OS. For remote functions such as update package acquisition, out-of-band update, non-root account is acceptable.

  • Supported operating systems
    Use the information in this section to identify operating systems supported by OneCLI.
  • Linux System cmd used by OneCLI
    This section describes the required linux system cmds that OneCLI invokes.
  • Required device drivers
    It is recommended to have the appropriate service processor device drivers installed and running before running OneCLI. It provides access to additional problem determination information, including the hardware event logs.
  • Supported browsers
    To view the information collected by OneCLI, it is recommended to use one of the following Web browsers:
  • Firewalls and proxy servers
    Some functions of OneCLI, including update acquire, inventory upload, and FoD, require access to the Internet. Configure the firewall (if any) to enable OneCLI to perform these operations. If the management server does not have direct access to the Internet, configure XClarity Administrator to use a proxy server.
  • Ports availability for the managed BMC, CMM, and SMM targets
    If managed targets (such as compute node/rack server BMC, CMM, or SMM) are behind a firewall and if users intend to manage those devices with OneCLI that is outside of that firewall, all ports should be involved with communications between OneCLI and the baseboard management controller in each managed device are open.
