HPASMCLI - Overview and Commands

hpasmcli stands for HP Server Management Application and Agents Command Line Interface


It comes with HP ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) and can be installed in HP ProLiant Servers to view, modify the BIOS / System settings such as  hyper-threading, boot sequence control, and UID LEDs, etc. It can also be used to display hardware status  of the HP ProLiant servers. 

It’s a scriptable command line interface for interacting with the hpasm management daemons.

hpasmcli is also usable for incorporating into shell scripts. Hpasmcli supports TAB completion of command names and has a history buffer that can be accessed using the up/down arrows.
