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 |
CPU (fru) | Condition of the blade server or |
:Condition | occupant |
CPU (fru) :State | State of the blade server or occupant |
CPU (fru) :FRUType | FRU type |

The prtpicl -vcommand shows the condition of all devices in the PICL tree. Sample output from the prtpicl command on the Netra CP3260 blade server is shown in CODE EXAMPLE 4-4.
