FRU and SDR Load Utility
007-4274-001 73
Parsing the Command Line
The FRUSDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command
line function can consist of two parameters. Example: -cfg filename.cfg. Invalid
parameters cause an error message and the program to exit. You can use either a slash (/)
or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The -p andflagscanbeusedin
conjunction with any of the other options.
Displaying a Given Area
When the utility is run with the -d DMI, -d FRU,or-d SDR command line flag,
information about each area is read from memory and printed on the screen. Each area
represents one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display
function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the
utility displays an error message and exits.
Using a Specified CFG File
The utility can be run with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg.The
filename variable can be any DOS-accepted, 8-character filename string. The utility loads
the specified CFG file and uses the entries in that file to probe the hardware and to select
theproperSDRstoloadintononvolatilestorage.
Displaying Utility Title and Version
The utility displays its title:
FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version Y.Y, Revision X.XX
Y.Y is the version number and X.XX is the revision number for the utility.
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
generic FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make
achoice.
