Management Processor Monitor: Environment Parameter

ENVIRONMENT PARAMETER COMMANDS

The monitor uses on-board, non-volatile memory for the storage of environment parame- ters. Environment parameters are stored as ASCII strings with the following format.

<Parameter Name>=<Parameter Value>

Some environment variables are used for board configuration and identification by the monitor. The environment parameter commands deal with the reading and writing of these parameters. Refer to “MPC8548 Environment Variables” on page 9-26for a list of monitor environment variables.

Redundant environment parameters allow you to store a “backup” copy of environment parameters should they ever become corrupt. The redundant environment parameters are only used if the main parameters are corrupt.

To save environment variables:

1Use moninit to save default environment variables to both primary and secondary environment parameters.

2Use saveenv to save to the primary environment variables.

3Set the next save to the secondary image.

printenv

The printenv command displays all of the environment variables and their current values to the display.

Definition: Print the values of all environment variables.

printenv

Print the values of all environment variable (exact match) ‘name’.

printenv name …

saveenv

The saveenv command writes the environment variables to non-volatile memory.

Definition: saveenv

setenv

The setenv command adds new environment variables, sets the values of existing environ- ment variables, and deletes unwanted environment variables.

Definition: Set the environment variable name to value or adds the new variable name and value to the environment.

The ATCA-9305 is built with a focus on advanced thermal management and redundancy. It employs a sophisticated cooling architecture that ensures optimal airflow across the chassis, preventing overheating during operation. Additionally, the chassis features hot-swappable fans and power supplies, which means that components can be replaced without interrupting the overall system performance. This capability enhances uptime and reliability, which is essential for mission-critical applications.

Another notable characteristic of the ATCA-9305 is its support for various interconnect technologies. The chassis provides robust backplane options that facilitate high-bandwidth communication between blades. It supports Ethernet, PCI Express, and Serial RapidIO, allowing for seamless integration with existing infrastructure and future technologies. This flexibility enables organizations to adapt to changing market demands and technological advancements.

Security features are also a prominent aspect of the ATCA-9305. The chassis incorporates hardware-based security modules that enhance data integrity and protect sensitive information. This is particularly important for service providers who must adhere to strict regulatory compliance standards.

In terms of management and monitoring, the ATCA-9305 is equipped with advanced management capabilities. It supports AdvancedTCA Management Interface (IPMI) and other monitoring protocols, allowing administrators to easily oversee the health and performance of the entire system. This level of visibility aids in proactive maintenance and troubleshooting, effectively reducing downtime.

In conclusion, the Emerson ATCA-9305 is a powerful and versatile chassis that stands out due to its high-density configuration, advanced thermal management, diverse interconnect technology support, robust security features, and comprehensive management capabilities. Its design is tailored for the evolving needs of telecommunications and data center environments, making it a valuable asset for any organization looking to enhance its infrastructure.
