Do you have any suggestions?
The "domain open" command is used for making a new connection to a domain. IIRC, you use "domain open <domainname> lan 10.10.0.1" to open a connection. There are options for usernames and passwords and such. I know the help is pretty hard to read. Scripting the FRU stuff would be pretty hard. I'd expect it is much easier to use perl or python directly, though I don't do much scripting. -corey > > > Much Thanks > Morgan Yang > > > > > On Fri, Mar 12, 2010 at 11:33 AM, Corey Minyard <miny...@acm.org > <mailto:miny...@acm.org>> wrote: > > Morgan Yang wrote: > > Thanks Corey for the feedback for the info on openipmigui.
