Appendix B – Programmer’s Interface for System Diagnostics
Verbosity Settings
The verbosity (v) settings (v0, v1, v2, v3) correspond to the level of detail that will be displayed, with v0 being the lowest level of detail and v3 being the highest level.
Component Settings
Detailed information for a single system component can be specified by using its identity (i) number setting (i0 through i5) in the following table.
Component | ID Number |
|
|
All Components | i0 |
Enclosure | i1 |
Storage Blocks | i2 |
Communication Interfaces | i3 |
Hardware & Boards | i4 |
VM Configuration | i5 |
Default Settings
At system boot, the ~scrv0i1! setting is displayed (see FIG. 16 on page 28). If the verbosity setting is omitted, the verbosity level will be the lowest (v0).
The component setting must be included; otherwise, entering any of the verbosity settings alone will result in a display equivalent to v0i0.
If both settings are omitted during a query (~scr!), the information displayed will be at the lowest verbosity level for all components (v0i0) (FIG. 25 on page 55).
Using BCS to Access System Diagnostic Information
Instructions are provided for accessing the lowest level of verbosity for all components and for accessing a specific level of verbosity for a specific component.
To access the lowest level of verbosity for all components:
1.Enter ~scr! or ~scrv0i0!
Note: Either of these commands provides a “menu” of the identity numbers and their corresponding components (FIG. 25 on page 55).
Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which these two settings are entered is interchangeable.
To access a specific level of verbosity for a specific component:
1.Enter ~scr (to access the splash screen).
2.Enter the verbosity level setting v# and the component (index) setting i#. Either may be specified first.
3.Enter ! (to send the command).
Example
~scrv3i5! or ~scri5v3! (displays the highest level of detail for the VM Configuration)
