3: L1 and L2 Controller Commands
L2 Commands
You can use all of the L2 controller commands to monitor and manage all of the devices
(Origin 3000 series servers, SGI Altix 3000 series servers, Onyx 3000 graphics systems,
Origin 300 servers, and Onyx 300 graphics systems) that include a hardware L2
controller. (You cannot use L2 controller commands with systems that do not include a
hardware L2 controller.)
Note: Although some of the specific examples of using L2 controller commands in this
chapter may show components not applicable to your device, all L2 controller
commands in this chapter are applicable to all servers and graphics systems supported.
L1 Commands
You can use most, but not all, of the L1 controller commands to monitor and manage all
devices (Origin 3000 series servers, SGI Altix 350 systems, SGI Altix 3000 series servers,
Onyx 3000 graphics systems, Origin 300 servers, and Onyx 300 graphics systems). Each
controller command description in “L1 Controller Commands” on page 40, gives the
devices each command supports.
Note: If you try to use an L1 controller command that is not available for a particular
system or brick component, a message will inform you of this.
Note: Although some specific examples of using the L1 controller commands in this
chapter may show components not applicable to your particular device in the command
description, the command will also work for your device if so indicated.
