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
genericFRUdevices.Someof thecommandsmaybeinteractiveandrequireyoutomake
a choice.
Prompting for Product Level FRU Information
Through the use of 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. These records might need
to be filtered based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs
the filtering of the SDRs.
Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR
repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. The
utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the
configuration file. Nontagged SDRs are automatically programmed. The utility also
copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file, as it contains an image of what was loaded.
The TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.
Updating FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU nonvolatile storage
area.First itverifies the common header area and checksumfromthe specified FRU file.
The internal use area is read out of the specified .FRU file and is programmed into the
nonvolatilestorage.The chassis areaisreadoutofthe specified .FRU file. Finally, it reads
the product areaout ofthe specifiedFRU file, then the area is programmedinto the FRU
nonvolatile storage. All areas are also written to the FRU.TMP file.
