26.9Using the Location Switch

The location switch allows valid cmmget and cmmset locations to be specified in other commands. The location can also be an IPMB address of the device, such as ‘0x20’. If access to a FRU on a device other than the FRU at the logical device ID 0, they can specify the device ID after the location name, separated by a colon. For example, “-l blade3:1” would access the FRU at logical device ID 1 on blade3.

The location can also include a bus address. The bus address is needed to access the correct power supply in a CompactPCI* chassis if the IPMB address is used instead of the location name. When the bus is defined, the location and device ID must also be defined. For example, “-l 0x54:0:26” would access IPMB address 0x54, device ID 0, on IPMB bus 26.
