Logging on to the IMM CLI interface using SSH

This topic provides instructions on how to log on to the IMM CLI interface using SSH.

To log on to the IMM CLI interface using SSH, complete the following steps:

Note

If you boot to the operating system while in the IMM GUI and the message Booting OS or in unsupported OS is displayed under System Status → System State, disable Windows 2008 firewall or type the following command in the Windows 2008 console. This might also affect blue-screen capture features.

netsh firewall set icmpsetting type-8 mode=ENABLE

By default, the icmp packet is blocked by Windows firewall. The IMM GUI will then change to OS booted status after you change the setting as indicated above in both the Web and CLI interfaces.

1. From the command prompt, type ssh, then press Enter.
2. Type USERID@IPADDRESS in the command prompt (where the USERID and IP ADDRESS is the user ID and IP address for the IMM to which you want to log on to), then press Enter.
3. Type the PASSWORD for the IMM and press Enter.
4. At the system prompt, type your command.
   Note

   You can type help in the command prompt if you want to see a list of commands that you can use.
5. When you are finished, type Exit, to exit the session.
