SYSCFG 45
--sma enable, disable This option enables or disables processor sequential memory access.
Example:
A:>syscfg --sma=disable
sma=disable
--svctag* NA This option reports the service tag for a system. If the system is modular, it
displays the service tag for PowerEdge 1855. If used with the -s general option,
the environment variable is set to the service tag.
Example:
A:>syscfg --svctag
svctag=113CD1S
NOTE: The asterisk is not part of the command syntax.
--syspwd <string> This option sets the system password for the BIOS. The system password is
required when booting the system. The argument string supplied to this option
is the password. Generally, passwords are limited to alphanumeric characters
and cannot exceed 32 characters in length. If a current system password is set,
it must be given through the --oldsyspwd option. This option is not replicated.
Example 1:
A:>syscfg --syspwd=
password
The password has been set. Please use a warm reboot to
apply the password to the system.
Example 2:
A:>syscfg --syspwd=
password
--oldsyspwd= password
The password has been set. Please use a warm reboot to
apply the password to the system.
NOTE: You cannot disable your password using DTK. To disable your password,
you must use the system BIOS.
--usb on, legacy, off This option sets or reports the status of the USB port. When set to on,
USB keyboards and mice function only for systems with operating systems
that have native USB support. When set to legacy, USB keyboards and mice
are supported through the BIOS to function in operating systems that do not
natively support USB. This option can be replicated.
Example:
A:>syscfg --usb=on
usb=on
