Shelf Management Commands
cnfndparms
cnfndparms
Configure Node Parameters—configure diverse parameters for the node.
The cnfndparms command lets you specify numerical values or enables for a diverse set of node-level
parameters. This command has parameters that consist of an option number and a value or a yes/no
option. The configuration resides in non-volatile RAM and thus survives a system reset or power cycle.
The paragraphs that follow describe each option as well as the ranges for each type of number. For
information on the related alarms, see dspndalms and dspenvalms.
Maximum Card Resets
Options 1 and 2 let you specify a window of time in seconds and a number of resets to count the number
of card resets. The purpose of these parameters is to prevent an endless loop of card resets.
•
Option 1 lets you select the sliding window of time for counting the resets of the shelf management
cards. The characteristics of the time period option are:
–
The units of measure are seconds.
–
The number is a 16-bit decimal number and therefore has the range 0–65355.
–
A 0 means an infinite time period. The impact of an infinite time period is that only a specified
count of resets can stop the resets.
–
The default is 3600 seconds (1 hour).
•
Option 2 lets you select the maximum number of resets of the shelf management card group per time
period. Its characteristics are:
–
The number is an eight-bit decimal number and therefore has the range 0–255. The meaning of
a 0 for this parameter is an infinite number of resets—the resets can continue indefinitely.
–
The default is 3 resets per time period.
Shutting Off Alarms for Absent Core Cards
Option 4 lets you specify whether an absent, redundant core card causes an alarm. (The core card the
PXM45.) The purpose of this option is to let you turn off alarms when the node configuration shows core
card redundancy but one card stays out of the backplane for an extended period of time. In essence, it
lets you turn off alarms until you re-install the card.
Enable Expanded Memory on PXM45/B
Option 5 lets you enable expanded memory on the PXM45. To enable expanded memory, a pair of
PXM45/Bs must reside in the system.
Required Power Supply Module Bitmap
Option 6 lets you specify the locations of required power supplies in an AC-powered system. If any one
of the required supplies is removed, an alarm results. (See also the descriptions of dspndalms and
dspenvalms regarding alarms.) Additional supplies can also exist in the power supply tray, but removing
one of the additional supplies does not cause an alarm.
