ethoverusb command

This command sets and displays the setting for the Ethernet-over-USB command interface of a compute node system-management processor, for compute nodes that support this feature.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or ethoverusb command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the ethoverusb command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.
Function What it does Command Target (see paths in Command targets)
Display compute node Ethernet-over-USB setting Displays the Ethernet-over-USB command interface setting for the system-management processor of the specified compute node.
Note: This command will execute only on compute nodes that support an Ethernet-over-USB command interface for the node system-management processor.
 ethoverusb
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Set compute node Ethernet-over-USB setting Enables or disables the Ethernet-over-USB command interface setting for the system-management processor of the specified compute node.
Note:
  • This command will execute only on compute nodes that support an Ethernet-over-USB command interface for the node system-management processor.
  • You cannot update the firmware for a compute node while the LAN over USB interface is disabled. Before updating the firmware, you must re-enable the interface. After updating the firmware, you can disable the interface again.
 ethoverusb -s state

where state is enabled or disabled .

This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities:
  • Supervisor
  • Blade administration
See Commands and user authority for additional information.
Compute node:
  • blade[x]
  • where x is the node bay number.
Example: To view the Ethernet-over-USB command interface setting for the system-management processor of the compute node in bay 11, while this compute node is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:blade[11]> prompt, type 
ethoverusb
To disable the Ethernet-over-USB command interface setting for the system-management processor of the compute node in bay 11, while this compute node is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:blade[11]> prompt, type 
ethoverusb -s disabled

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:

system:blade[11]> ethoverusb
-s enabled
system:blade[11]> ethoverusb -s disabled
Notice: This operation may take a short while to complete. Please view the
status to determine when the operation has completed.
OK
system:blade[11]> ethoverusb
-s disabled
