Management Processor Monitor: Other Commands

phy eTSEC2 w 0x1a 0

ping

The ping command sends a ping over Ethernet to check if the host can be reached. The port used is defined by the ethport environment variable. If all is selected for ethport, the ping process cycles through each port until a connection is found or all ports have failed.

Definition: ping host

reset

The reset command performs a hard reset of the CPU by writing to the reset register on the board. Without any arguments, the ATCA-9305 CPU is reset.

Definition: reset

run

The run command runs the commands in an environment variable var.

Definition: run var [ … ]

Use $ for variable substitution; the syntax “$(variable_name)” should be used for variable expansion.

Example: => setenv cons_opts console=tty0 console=ttyS0,\$(baudrate)

=> printenv cons_opts cons_opts=console=tty0 console=ttyS0,$(baudrate)

Use the \ character to escape execution of the $ as seen in the setenv command above. In this example, the value for baudrate will be inserted when cons_opts is executed.

script

The script command runs a list of monitor commands out of memory. The list is an ASCII string of commands separated by the ; character and terminated with the ;; charac- ters. <script address> is the starting location of the script.

Note: A script is limited to 1000 characters.

Definition: script <script address>

showmac

The showmac command displays the Processor MAC addresses assigned to each Ethernet port.

Definition: showmac

showpci

The showpci command scans the PCI bus and lists the base address of the devices.

ATCA-9305 specifications

The Emerson ATCA-9305 is a high-performance AdvancedTCA (ATCA) chassis designed to meet the demanding requirements of telecommunications and IT infrastructure. With a focus on scalability, reliability, and flexibility, this equipment is ideal for service providers and enterprises looking to deploy robust applications in a variety of environments.

One of the main features of the ATCA-9305 is its support for high-density blade configurations. The chassis can accommodate up to 14 ATCA blades, enabling the deployment of powerful processing units, communication modules, and storage solutions. This level of density not only maximizes space but also minimizes power consumption, which is crucial for reducing operational costs in large-scale deployments.

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.
