Clears only the CLI screen. This command has no impact on the database of OSC.

Syntax: clear

Helps debug the connection between the OSC appliance and your client computer.

Syntax: enable

Logs off the current SSH connection with the OSC appliance and closes the SSH client window.

Syntax: exit

Provides a description of all commands.

Syntax: help

Lists all the commands attempted so far on your OSC appliance including unsuccessful and attempted commands in earlier sessions.

Syntax: history

Lists all the commands available in the normal mode along with the description for each command. This command has the same output as the help command.

Syntax: list

Pings an IPv4 network host.

Syntax: ping <A.B.C.D>

Parameter	Description
<A.B.C.D>	a 32-bit IPv4 address written as four eight-bit numbers separated by periods. Each number (A,B,C, and D) is an eight-bit number between 0-255.

Resets the OSC appliance immediately without confirmation.

Syntax reset

Stops and then starts the OSC server.

Syntax: server restart

Starts the OSC server.

Syntax: server start

Displays the current status of the OSC server.

Syntax: server status

Stops the OSC server.

Syntax: server stop

Configures primary and secondary name servers (IPv4 addresses) for the OSC appliance.

Syntax: set network dns <A.B.C.D> <E.F.G.H>

Parameter	Description
<A.B.C.D>	IPv4 address of the primary name server.
<E.F.G.H>	IPv4 address of an optional secondary name server.

Notes:

• To remove the name server configuration, enter set network dns without any IP address parameters.
• To remove just the secondary name server IP address, enter set network dns <A.B.C.D> without the second IP address parameter.
• You can also configure the name server IP addresses in the Network Settings page of OSC web application. The name servers you configure using the set network dns command reflect in the Network Settings page on the OSC web application.

##set network domain Adds OSC to a network domain.

Syntax set network domain <domain name>

Note:

• To remove the network domain, enter set network domain without a domain name.

Configures the IPv4 address of the default gateway for the OSC appliance.

Syntax: set network gateway <A.B.C.D>

Parameter	Description
<A.B.C.D>	a 32-bit IPv4 address written as four eight-bit numbers separated by periods. Each number (A,B,C, and D) is an eight-bit number between 0-255.

Notes:

• If you do not configure a default gateway, OSC appliance can communicate only with hosts on the same subnet and your current SSH session will be closed unless your client machine is on the same subnet as that of OSC.
• You can configure the gateway IP addresses in the Network Settings page of OSC web application. The default gateway you configure using the set network gateway command reflects in the Network Settings page.

Configures a network name for the OSC appliance. If this name is resolvable to the IP address of OSC appliance, you can use this hostname to use the OSC web application instead of the IP address.

Syntax: set network hostname <WORD>

Parameter	Description
<WORD>	indicates a case-sensitive character string up to 25 characters. The string must begin with a letter and can include hyphens, underscores, and periods.

The host name of OSC is displayed in the Summary page of OSC web application.

Reconfigures a static or dynamic IPv4 address for the OSC appliance. If it is a static IP address, you must specify the CIDR notation as well.

Syntax: set network ip <A.B.C.D/CIDR> | dhcp

Parameter	Description
<A.B.C.D/CIDR>	indicates an IPv4 address followed by the CIDR notation to specify the network part and the host part. For example, the CIDR notation for a Class C address is 24.
dhcp	indicates that the network settings must be configured through a DHCP server.

Notes:

• The SSH client will need to be closed and another session with the new IP address will need to be opened.
• The OSC server may need to be started using server start.
• The configured IP address is displayed in the Summary page of OSC web application.
• You can also configure the IP address from the Network Settings page of OSC web application.

Configures Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers as the time source for the OSC appliance. You can specify the IPv4 addresses or host names of the NTP servers separated by a space. OSC appliance considers the first available NTP server from your list.

Syntax: set network ntp <A.B.C.D or hostname> <E.F.G.H or hostname> ... <W.X.Y.Z or hostname>

Parameter	Description
<A.B.C.D or hostname>	the IPv4 address or name of the first priority NTP server.
<E.F.G.H or hostname>	the IPv4 address or name of the second priority NTP server.
<W.X.Y.Z or hostname>	the IPv4 address or name of the nth priority NTP server.

Notes:

• To remove any existing NTP servers, use the command without any parameters: set network ntp.
• If the hostname of NTP servers is specified, a name server must be configured for OSC appliance to resolve the hostname.
• To view the currently configured NTP server details, use show network ntp command.

Changes the logon password for the OSC appliance. It prompts for the old password and then prompts for a new password. A password must contain at least eight characters and can consist of any alphanumeric character or symbol. This command only changes the password to access OSC through the CLI and not through the OSC web application.

Syntax: set passwd

Sets the date and time on OSC appliance. All parameters are mandatory.

Syntax: set time MMDDmmhhCCCC

Parameter	Description
MM	month
DD	date
mm	minutes
hh	hour
CCCC	year

Example: set time 013006302014
This sets the time to Thursday, January 30, 06:30:00 2014

To view the current time on the OSC appliance, use the show clock command or the Summary page on the OSC web application.

If OSC is deployed in a VMware environment, this command sets the status of VMware time synchronization. The status can either be enabled or disabled. When it is enabled, VMware periodically syncs the time of the host to the time of the guest operating system.

Syntax: set timesync enabled | disabled

Sets the time zone on the OSC appliance.

Steps:

1. Enter set timezone. The continents and oceans are listed.
2. Enter the number corresponding to the continent or ocean. For example, to set the time zone to Pacific time, enter 10. The countries corresponding to the continent or ocean are listed.
3. Enter the number corresponding to the country you want to select. For example, to set the time zone to Pacific time, enter 25. The time zones applicable to the selected country are listed.
4. Enter the number corresponding to the time zone you want to select. For example, select 21 to set to Pacific time.
5. Press 1 to confirm or 2 to cancel the operation.

You can use show clock command or the Summary page on the OSC web application to check the current time zone on OSC.

Displays the current Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries on the OSC appliance.

Syntax: show arp

Displays the current date, time, and time zone configured on OSC appliance.

Syntax: show clock

Displays the filesystems in OSC appliance.

Syntax: show filesystems

This command displays the following information:

• File system name
• Available space
• Space allocated
• Space used in percentage
• Space used currently
• Where the file system is mounted

Displays the OSC log files.

Syntax: show log

Follows OSC logs. Cancel (Ctrl-c) to exit this command.

Syntax: show log follow

Syntax: show log last <number>

Example: show log last 5 Displays the last 5 log entries.

Displays the log entries in reverse chronological order. That is, the latest log entry is displayed first.

Syntax: show log reverse

Displays the IP addresses of the currently configured name servers

Syntax: show network dns

Notes:

• The Network Settings page on the OSC web application displays the name servers.
• To configure the name servers, use the set network dns command or the Network Settings page on the OSC web application.
