Using a specified CFG file
In most cases, you'll use the standard configuration file master.cfg that is supplied with the utility on the System CD and with software updates:
FRUSDR
The utility loads the specified CFG file and uses the information in that file to:
•Verify that the CFG file is the correct one for the hardware model
•Load the data from the FRU files, prompting the user for information as necessary
•Select the proper SDRs and load them into nonvolatile storage
Using a specified FRU file
If you run FRUSDR using the master.cfg file, and FRUSDR halts prematurely, you can update individual FRU areas by using the
Note: FRUSDR, when run using the
Updating nonvolatile storage areas
The .fru and .sdr files are specific to a particular server platform. The files include header information to identify the platform. The utility verifies that a file is being used with the correct server before updating any information in nonvolatile storage. Prior to updating the SDR information, the SDR area in nonvolatile storage is cleared.
