View Interface’s Vital Product Data
These commands display the interface’s vital product data.
nwmgr [-g] -q vpd -c lan
PPA
nwmgr [--get] --qualifier vpd --class_instance lan
PPA
The Vital Product Data (vpd) is a standardized set of read-only properties for an interface, including
Manufactured Data for the NIC, and the firmware versions.
Set Current Values of Attributes
These commands can be used to set current values of attributes with user specified values.
nwmgr -s -A attr1=value1, attr2
=value2,... -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute attr1=value1, attr2
=value2,... --class_instance lan
PPA
You can set current values of attributes by specifying the values with these commands.
Save Attribute Values as Default Values for an Interface
These commands can be used to set current attribute values from default values.
nwmgr -s -A all --sa --fr cu[
rrent] -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute all --saved --from cu[rrent]
--class_instance lan
PPA
Save the current values of all attributes of an interface into the configuration file
/etc/rc.config.d/hpigelanconf
.
This form stores the current value of each attribute of an interface in the configuration file, so that
the interface configuration is preserved across boots. The user can also run the start-up script later
by hand to apply the configuration file values to the running kernel, by typing:
/sbin/rc2.d/S305hpigelan start
This feature allows a user to experiment with the current values and, when a desired configuration
is achieved, preserve it for posterity.
Set Current Attribute Values from Default
These commands set the current values for attributes from the default values.
nwmgr -s -A {all | attr1, attr2, ...} [--cu] --fr de
[fault] -c lanPPA
nwmgr --set --attribute {all | attr1, attr2, ...} [--current] --from de[
fault]
--class_instance lan
PPA
The current values of all attributes of an interface (if
all is specified) or the specified attributes (if
the names are listed) are set to be equal to their respective default values. This can be useful in rol-
ling all the changes made to an interface since the time the system booted.
Reset an Interface
These commands reset an interface.
nwmgr -r -c lanPPA
nwmgr --reset --class_instance lanPPA
The interface is subjected to a PCI reset, which clears all previous state, including the interface
statistics. The interface is then re-programmed with the attribute values that were current before
the reset. Promiscuous mode and multicast addresses are preserved across the reset.
While the reset is in progress, the data traffic through the interface is interrupted. So, the command
automatically performs a Critical Resource Analysis (CRA) to see if the interface is data-critical; in
other words, any other resource depends for its functionality on the availability of the interface. If
so, the reset is not performed.
The reset can be forced, even if the interface is data-critical, by using the --force option. It is
possible for an interface to be system-critical; in other words, the health of the system depends on
the availability of the interface. In that case, the reset will not be performed even if the --force
option is specified.
