Command
-? or -h
-d {fru, sdr}
-cfg filename.cfg
-p
Parsing the Command Line
The FRU/SDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line
function can consist of two parameters. Example: -cfg filename.cfg. Invalid parameters cause an
error message and exit the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify
command line options. Use the -p and flags with any of the other options.
Displaying a Given Area
When the utility is run with the -d FRU or -d SDR command line flag, information about each area
is read from memory and printed on the screen. 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.
Using Specified CFG File
Run the utility 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 Y.Y, Revision X.XX where Y.Y is the version number and
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
With a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for FRU information.
Filtering Records from the SDR File
The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. You might need to filter these
records based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of
the SDRs.
