Parsing the Command Line
The FRUSDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function can consist of two parameters. Example:
Displaying a Given Area
When the utility is run with the
Using Specified CFG File
The utility can be run with the command line parameter of
Displaying Utility Title and Version
The utility displays its title:
FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version Y.Y, Revision X.XX where Y.Y is the version number and X.XX is the revision number for the utility.
Configuration File
The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to run tasks needed to load the proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.
Prompting for Product Level FRU Information
Through the use of a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for FRU information.
Filtering Records From the SDR File
The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. These records might need to be filtered based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of the SDRs.
Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. The utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the configuration file. Nontagged SDRs are automatically programmed. The utility also copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file; it contains an image of what was loaded. The TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.
