| CLI Command | Description |
| help | Displays a list of all ALOM commands with their syntax and a brief description of how each command works. |
| resetsc (-y) | Reboots ALOM. The -y option allows you to skip the confirmation question. |
| reset (-y) (-x) | Generates a hardware reset on the host server. The -x option generates an XIR (externally initiated reset). The -y option allows you to skip the confirmation question. |
| poweroff (-y) (-f) | Removes the main power from the host system. The -y option allows you to skip the confirmation question. |
| poweron | Applies the main power to the host system or FRU. |
| flashupdate | Updates the ALOM firmware. This command downloads main and bootom firmware images to ALOM. |
| removefru (-y) {FRU} | Prepares a FRU (for example, a power supply) for removal, and illuminates the host system’s OK-to-Remove indicator light. The -y option allows you to skip the confirmation question. |
| setsc | Sets the specified ALOM parameter to the assigned value. |

| setdate | Sets the date and time, when the managed operating system is not running. |

| setlocator (on/off) | Turns the Locator LED on the server on or off. This function is available only on host systems that have Locator LEDs. |
| showlocator | Displays the current state of the Locator LED as either on or off. This function is available only on host systems that have Locator LEDs. |
| showplatform (-v) | Displays information about the host system’s hardware configuration, and whether the hardware is providing service. The -v option displays verbose information on the displayed component(s). |
| showenvironment | Displays the environmental status of the host server. This information includes system temperatures, power supply status, front panel LED status, hard disk drive status, fan status, voltage and current sensor status, and keyswitch position. |
| showfru | Displays information about the FRUs (field-replaceable units) in a host system. |
| showusers (-g) | Displays a list of users currently logged in to ALOM. The display for this command has a similar format to that of the UNIX command who. |
