chassisShow
The
chassisShow
command can be especially helpful in monitoring the health of the device. This command provides
information on installed blade, fan assembly, and power supply assembly FRUs. In addition, customer-supplied
information can also be viewed, if included, for each FRU type. Four measurements to note are:
•
Power Consume Factor—Maximum power allocated for a given FRU. Except for power supply assemblies, all power is
shown as a negative number.
•
Power Usage—If shown, this reflects real-time power usage for the FRU.
•
Time Awake—Time that the system has been powered on since the last reboot.
•
Time Alive—Reflects the total power-on time for the FRU (when available).
The following example shows output from this command.
