Examples

The ifhw utility might use XML files as input to query the hardware discovery file. The command
line input:
ifhw hwdisc.xml allboards.xml "PCI:Smart Array 6402"
returns the following possible codes:
• 0 (True) if the Smart Array 6402 is present
• 1 (False) if the device is not present
• 2 (Error) if the expression could not be understood
• -1 or 255 if incorrect number of parameters given
The following expressions, used as shown in the Synopsis, return the indicated result:
• "PCI:Smart Array 6402"
Returns True if the Smart Array 5i Controller is found in the system
• HWQ:RAM gte 512
Returns True if the amount of RAM in the hardware discovery file is at least 512
• HWQ:EFIFw neq "1.10"
Returns True if the EFI Firmware version in the hardware discovery file is not 1.10
• HWQ:SystemName eq "Server rx4640"
True if the system name in the hardware discovery file exactly matches "Server rx4640"
• "PCI:Smart Array 6402" or "PCI:Smart Array 6404"
True if the system contains a Smart Array 6402 Controller or a Smart Array 6404 Controller

78 Utilities Reference
Description
This argument specifies the hardware discovery file used to run the query.
This argument specifies the allboards.xml PCI device list file, which is used to convert
PCI IDs found in hardware discovery into device names, such as "Smart Array 6402
Controller."
This argument specifies the query expression.
Result
True if both operands are true.
True if either operand is true.
True if the first operand is greater than the second.
True if the first operand is less than the second.
True if the first operand is greater than or equal to the second.
True if the first operand is less than or equal to the second.
True if the two operands are equal.
True if the two operands are not equal.
True if the operand is false.
True if a PCI device whose name includes string is found in the hardware discovery file.
string is case-sensitive.
