Intel SX220 manual Displaying Utility Title and Version, Configuration File

specified CFG file and uses the entries in that file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load into non-volatile storage.

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 non-volatile 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

With 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. You might need to filter these records based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of the SDRs.

Updating the SDR Non-volatile 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. Untagged SDRs come 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.

Updating FRU Non-volatile Storage Area

After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU non-volatile storage area. First, it verifies the common header area and checksum from the specified FRU file. The internal use area reads out of the specified .FRU file then programmed into the non-volatile storage. The chassis area reads out of the specified .FRU file. Finally, it reads the product area out of the specified FRU file, then the area programs into the FRU non-volatile storage. All areas write to the FRU.TMP file.
