FRU/SDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) load utility is a DOS-based
program used to update the server management subsystem's product level FRU and SDR nonvolatile
storage. The utility:
Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file
Displays the FRU, SDR, and SMB information
Updates the nonvolatile storage managed by the BMC that holds the SDR and FRU area
Generically handles FRU devices that might not be associated with the BMC

When to Run the FRU/SDR Load Utility

You'll need to run the FRU/SDR utility in these situations:
When first setting up your server
Whenever you change the number of power supplies, processors, or fans in the server
When installing a FRU/SDR update (page 45)
NOTE
If the FRU/SDR configuration information in BMC nonvolatile storage does
not match the physical configuration of the server, you might see false errors
generated by sensors that don't actually exist, and sensors that do exist might
not be monitored. So, it's important to keep the configuration up to date.

Running the FRU/SDR Load Utility

You can run the utility directly from the Utilities menu of the System Resource CD. However, if
you have downloaded an update, you should run the updated version from the update diskette.
The executable file for the utility is FRUSDR.EXE. The utility requires the following:
ROM-DOS version 6.22 or MS-DOS version 6.22 (and later versions)
One or more .fru files describing the system's field replaceable units
A .cfg file describing the system configuration
An .sdr file describing the sensors in the system
