Appendices 169

Appendix C: Target Device Configuration

This appendix provides details about target device configuration requirements that are unique to the

MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager.

During target device configuration, the administrator must assign parameters described in Table

4.16 on page 49 to each target device. This appendix provides information needed for configuring

the following parameters:

• Target device type and command template

• A private subnet

• An optional virtual IP address, which hides the real IP address of the target device from users,

and which requires the configuration of a virtual network (DNAT)

Configuring target device types and command templates

The MergePoint 5224/5240 SP manager uses the following four administrator-modifiable

components described in this section for handling communications with target devices.

• Target device types

• Target device families

• Expect scripts

• Command templates

Target device types

Target device types are introduced in Configuring new target device types on page 49.

Administrator

-modifiable parameters that are defined for each target device type are the family and

the command template, either or both of which can be modified to enable communications with

target devices that do not work out of the box.

Target device families, Expect scripts, and command templates

Each target device family is defined by an Expect script in the /libeexec/spmanager directory in the

form: talk_<family_name>.exp. For example, the Expect script that defines the iLO family is

talk_ilo.exp.

The Expect scripts use text

-based interfaces that are in command templates to log into the target

devices and perform supported management actions on behalf of authorized users. One Expect

script and one command template are assigned to each target device.

The default Expect scripts and command templates do not always work for all target devices of the

same type because service processors of the same type often do not use the same syntax for their

commands. For example, while power on is the command string that works to power on a server

with some RSA II type service processors, power

-on is the command string that works with some

other RSA II type service processors. This section provides information about how administrators

can test devices and create new or modified command templates, if needed to deal with

command differences.
