Displaying a given area
When the utility is run with the -d DMI, -d FRU, or -d SDR command line flag, the indicated
area is displayed. Each area represents one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the
given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure,
the utility displays an error message and exits.
Displaying DMI area
Each DMI area displayed is headed with the DMI area designated name. In each area, each field
has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number.
Example:
To display the DMI area, type frusdr -d dmi and press <Enter>.
Displaying FRU area
The FRU area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a number when the field
is a number. Each FRU area displayed is headed with the FRU area designated name. Each field
has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number. The board, chassis, and
product FRU areas end with an END OF FIELDS CODE that indicates there are no more data in
the area. The internal use area is displayed in hex format, 16 bytes per line.
Example:
To display the FRU area, type frusdr -d fru and press <Enter>.
Displaying SDR area
The SDR nonvolatile storage area is displayed in the following hex format. The data are separated
by a sensor record number X header, where X is the number of that sensor record in the SDR area.
The next line after the header is the sensor record data in hex format delineated by spaces. Each
line holds up to 16 bytes. The data on each line are followed by the same data in ASCII format;
nonprintable characters (ch < 32 || ch > 126) are substituted by a period (.).
Example:
To display the SDR area, type frusdr -d sdr and press <Enter>.
Using specified CFG file
The utility can be run with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename can be
any DOS-accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the specified CFG file and
uses the entries in that file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load into
nonvolatile storage.
Displaying utility title and version
The utility displays its title:
FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version 2.0, Revision X.XX where X.XX is the revision number for
the utility.
Configuration file
The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings
present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to run tasks needed to load the
proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of
the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.
Prompting for product level FRU information
Through the use of a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for FRU information.
