Command Line Interface
Chapter 2
Command Line Interface
The server management command line interface (CLI) performs these tasks for the ES80 and
GS1280 servers:
•
Displays system configuration information
•
Updates firmware
•
Powers on and off, halts, and resets the system or partition
•
Provides system partitioning and cabling functions
•
Shows the status of fans and power supplies, as well as temperatures
•
Implements remote server management
•
Connects to the virtual SRM console
Typically the CLI is used on smaller systems that do not use the graphical AlphaServer
Management Utility (AMU).
2.1 Component Addressing
Each component is addressed by its cabinet and drawer thumbwheel in hex. The qualifiers -
cabinet and -drawer are used throughout the server management CLI. For some commands, a
CPU can be specified by its mesh coordinates, -ew and -ns.
Type Address Note
8P drawer -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> SBB cabinet = 0–7, drawer = 0–3
MBM -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> MBM cabinet = 0–7, drawer = 0–3
DUO -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> DUO n n = 0–3 in the 8P drawer
CMM -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> CMM n n = 0–3 in the 8P drawer
CPU -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> CPU n n = 0–7 in the 8P drawer
CPU -ew <ew_coord> -ns <ns_coord> CPU by mesh coordinate (ew, ns)
IOP -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> IOP n n = 0–7 in the 8P drawer; for IO cabling
PCI drawer -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> PCI cabinet = 0–F, drawer = 0–F
PBM -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> PBM cabinet = 0–F, drawer = 0–F
IOR -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> IOR n n = 0–3 in the PCI drawer
2.2 Environment Variables
Server management environment variables are settings in the MBM, PBM, and CMM that tailor
their behaviors. They are analogous to SRM environment variables.
All SM variables are global and stored in the flash. The names are case insensitive ASCII strings
with maximum length of 32 characters including NULL. If the variable type is integer, please
specify the value in hex.
The command “show *” lists all variables, as shown in Example 2-1.
