HP Superdome Servers: New Attention
Indicator Behavior (new for June 2001)
The fruled command and Partition Manager blink the attention
indicators (LEDs) on HP Superdome cells and I/O chassis rather than
illuminating them in a steady-on state.
The SAM (/usr/sbin/sam) and Partititon Manager utilities now blink
PCI slot attention LEDs for procedures that involve locating PCI slots.
For example, the fruled -o -c2 command now causes cell 2’s attention
indicator to blink, and the fruled -o -i0/1/3 command blinks the
attention indicator for cabinet 0, I/O bay 1, chassis 3.
The /usr/sbin/rad command still provides the same functionality for
managing PCI card slot attention indicators. You should use the
rad -f attention #-#-#-# command to blink the attention LED when
locating the specified slot ( #-#-#-# ). See rad (1M) for options.
