Sun Microsystems CP3260 manual Retrieving Device Information, Condition

4.7Retrieving Device Information

You can use the Solaris platform information and control library (PICL) framework for obtaining the state and condition of the Netra CP3260 blade server.

The PICL framework provides information about the system configuration that it maintains in the PICL tree. Within this PICL tree is a subtree named frutree, which represents the hierarchy of system field-replaceable units (FRUs) with respect to a root node in the tree called chassis. The frutree represents physical resources of the system. The PICL tree is updated whenever a change occurs in a device’s status.

TABLE 4-4shows the frutree entries and properties that describe the condition of the Netra CP3260 blade server.

TABLE 4-4PICL Frutree Entries and Description for the Netra CP3260 Board

Frutree Entry:Property Entry Description Example of Condition

CPU (location) :State	State of the receptacle or slot
