3.1.6 Creating GMI Tokens
GMI tokens can be generated using the IRP Management Tool (Irpmng), accessible through the IRP instance CLI.
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Access GMI Instance CLI: Connect to the GMI instance Command Line Interface (CLI) either through a direct console connection or remotely via a terminal.
- Use GMI CLI Tool: Use the GMI CLI tool to obtain the GMI instance’s unique identifier by executing the following command:
# gmi-cli showID GMI UID: 7cdbc6c8a81e469226ffb174a2bf399d
- Access IRP Instance CLI: Connect to the IRP instance Command Line Interface (CLI) either through a direct console connection or remotely via a terminal.
- Use IRP Management Tool: Create token using the command below:
# irpmng gmi add --shortname <SHORTNAME> --admin true --uid <GMIUID>
GMI token IRP[1] has been added as: Admin, Enabled
Write down the token value as it cannot be retrieved later:

- <SHORTNAME> – This is the desired short name for the IRP instance.
- <GMIUID> – This is the GMI unique identifier you retrieved earlier.
Save the Token: It’s imperative to save the GMI token immediately after generation, as it cannot be retrieved once the command window is closed or if the token is lost. This token is essential for future authorizations and registrations of the IRP instance in GMI.- Use the Figure: GMI authorization form to complete the IRP instance registration
