System Configuration User Guide

Note: This command should be used by itself. Do not issue Syscfg commands for a few

seconds after this command to allow the BMC to initialize.

4.4.19 Restore Firmware Settings (/rfs)

syscfg {/rfs | restorefirmwaresettings}

Restores the factory default Baseboard Management Controller settings.

Example:

syscfg /rfs

Note: This command should be used by itself. Do not issue Syscfg commands for a few

seconds after this command to allow the BMC to initialize. After a few seconds, follow this

command with the Reset BMC or AC Power Cycle. Unpredictable operation may occur if you

do not reset the BMC after this command.

4.4.20 Reset Node Manager (/rnm)

syscfg {/rnm | resetnodemanager}

Resetses the Node Manager (NM).

Node Manager (NM) provides a mechanism for the customer to configure multiple power

policies on a platform. These policies can have a defined action to “shutdown” the platform.

If the customer configures a power policy that performs a “shutdown” and the power

threshold is set too low, the platform will not boot to the operating system if it is ACPI

aware. A utility that runs in the EFI environment (which is not ACPI aware) allows for an in-

band recovery mechanism.

Example:

syscfg /rnm or syscfg /resetnodemanager

4.4.21 Save (/s)

syscfg /s [filename.INI] {/f | /b | /f /b}

filename

File name to be used for the syscfg

configuration file (.INI) in the current

working directory. If no filename is

specified, the default file name syscfg.scf is

used. The filename suffix must be .INI, or, if

omitted, syscfg will add the .SCF suffix. The

filename should consist of only alphanumeric

characters.
