CLI Reference

Version 3.0
October 2003

This document describes the Server Mangagement Command Line Interface
(CLI) to hp AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 systems.

The CLI provides access to the whole platform at the most fundamental level.
You can display information, such as the system configuration, cabling, and
environmental component status. You can update the firmware and power the
system or a hard partition on or off, as well as halt and reset. You can create
and delete partitions.

The CLI also provides one of the two ways you can access the SRM console or
operating system running within the system or a partition.

Regulatory Notices for Series ET2003
FCC Notice

Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations has established Radio Frequency
(RF) emission limits to provide an interference-free radio frequency spectrum. Many electronic devices, including
computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These
rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended
installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial
environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment
(i.e., personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential
of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user. The rating label on the device shows which class
(A or B) the equipment falls into. Class B devices have an FCC ID on the label. Class A devices do not have an FCC
ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Class B Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly
approved by Hewlett-Packard Company may void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Cables

Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods in order to
maintain compliance with FCC rules and regulations.

Declaration of Conformity for products marked with the FCC logo – United States only

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

How to Access the Server Management CLI

Chapter 1
How to Access the Server Management CLI

1.1 Access the CLI from the SPM

If your site has an AlphaServer Management Station (AMS) running the Server Platform
Management (SPM) software, and you have administrator or operator access to it, you can use
the SPM window to telnet into the Server Management CLI of a particular platform. You can do
this in three different ways:

1.1.1 From the SPM "Actions" Menu Item

Once you have logged in to the SPM as a valid user, you can left-click on a platform in either the
tree view or the right-hand view. Once you select a platform, you can left-click on the "Actions"
menu item to telnet to the Server Management CLI of the platform you selected.

1-1

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

1.1.2 From the SPM Tree View

Once you have logged in as a valid SPM user, you can directly right-click on a platform in the tree
view to display a pulldown menu from which you can telnet to the Server Management CLI for
that system.

1-2

How to Access the Server Management CLI

1.1.3 From the SPM Platform View

From the right pane of the SPM window, you can right-click on a platform to display a pulldown
menu that allows you to telnet to the Server Management CLI of that particular platform.

1-3

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

1.2 Access the CLI from the AMU

You can access the Server Management CLI interface from the AlphaServer Management Utility
interface as follows:

1. Click on the "Platform" icon in the tree view. (Remember that the AMU is only attached
to a single platform at a time.)

2. Pull down the "Actions" menu and select "Open Telnet" from the options available, as
shown below.

1.3 Access the CLI from a PC Telnet session

You can access the Server Management CLI from a PC attached to the Corporate LAN or the
Multi-Server LAN by installing KEAterm or similar software on the PC.

Instructions for installing this software on your PC is given in the ES47/ES80/GS1280 Service
Manual.

How to Access the Server Management CLI

1.5 Accessing the Server Management CLI from the SRM
Console

If you have accessed the SRM console or operating system for a platform (or for a partition or
subpartition within a platform), you can access the Server Management CLI for the platform by
entering the escape sequence <Esc><Esc>MBM.

1-7

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> DUOn n = 0–3 in the 8P drawer
CMM -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> CMMn n = 0–3 in the 8P drawer
CPU -cabinet <cabinet> -drawer<drawer> CPUn 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> IOPn 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> IORn 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.

2-1

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

creation is used. The
Default_HP is created non­striped, so the force_striping
variable is handy to make that
partition behave as a striped
partition.

A key attribute of the ES80/GS1280 server is its ability to be divided into partitions, each of which
appears to be a separate computer. A partition contains CPU, memory, and I/O resources.

These servers can be:

• Hard partitioned, with no routing traffic between CPUs.

• Soft partitioned, with routing between all CPUs. All memory access is allowed, and

protection is accomplished through software.

The server management is responsible for creating, configuring, testing, saving, and deleting
partitions.

The partition name is limited to a maximum of 19 characters and restricted to alphanumeric,
underscore, and dash characters. Free_Pool is a reserved name for indicating the partition's pool
of resources that any partition can allocate. It is legal to have the same subpartition name as the
hard partition or to have the same subpartition names under different hard partitions.

A partition must be addressed by name in the format -hp <hard_partition_name> -sp
<sub_partition_name>.

commas imply mutually exclusive items. "{a, b, c}" indicates that you can

choose from a, b, or c.
vertical bars imply combinatorial items. "{a | b | c}" indicates that you can

choose any combination of a, b, and c.

2.5 Command Names and Qualifiers

The server management CLI interface is case insensitive.

Command names consist of a command verb and, in some cases, a keyword. Each comma nd
verb and keyword might have an abbreviation, which is determined by the CLI parser. For
example, the minimum match for show system is sh sys. If a user continues typing more than
the minimum, the optional characters must match the full name. This means that sh syst will
work, but sh sysa will not. The optional characters are displayed in square brackets ([ ]) under
the command name in the online help.

The character - introduces a qualifier. Qualifiers may be single characters ("flags") or multiple
characters. The exact match has the highest precedence. A multiple character qualifier can be
abbreviated as long as its partial match is unique within the command. For instance, -c is
sufficient for the qualifier -cabinet if the command has no other qualifiers starting with the letter
“c."

2-4

Command Line Interface

2.6 Editing

The following keys can be used in editing Server Management CLI commands:

Key Function

Backspace Delete the character; the cursor moves to the left
Delete Delete the character; the cursor stays at its position
Down arrow Get next command
End key Moves the cursor to the end of the command line
Home key Moves the cursor to the beginning of the command line
Insert key Toggles to select "Insert" or "Overwrite" mode
Left arrow Move the cursor to the left within the command line
Page Up Reserved for future use
Page Down Reserved for future use
Right arrow Moves the cursor to the right within the command line
Ctrl A Toggle to select "insert" or "overwrite" mode
Ctrl B Recall the previous line
Ctrl C Abort the command
Ctrl D Cancel the current line
Ctrl E Move the cursor to the end of the command line
Ctrl F Move the cursor to the right within the command line
Ctrl H Move the cursor to the beginning of the command line
Ctrl R Reprint the command line
Ctrl U Clear the command line

Other rules include:

• Extra spaces are ignored.

• Everything between the "#" character and the end of the line is treated as a comment.

• The previous 16 commands in the current session can be recalled by using the up arrow

and down arrow keys.

• The use of double quotes is supported; everything inside the quotes is treated as-is. This
is helpful for arguments containing spaces or # (comments).

For example:

MBM> build fru CAB0.DRW0.MBM "partnumber" "serialnum" "mbm module"
MBM> sh fru
Fru Name E Part # Serial # Model/Other
CAB0.DRW0.MBM 00 partnumber serialnum mbm module

2-5

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

• Command abort. If you get tired of a long and complicated command display or action,
type CTRL/C ( ^C). The command is aborted mid-stream.

For example:

MBM> sh fru
Fru Name E Part # Serial # Model/Other
CAB0.DRW0.DOCP 00 nightlyFri_0 Fri_43
CAB0.DRW0.MBM 00 partnumber serialnum mbm module
CAB0.DRW0.DUO0.CMM 10 nightlyFri_2 Fri_45
CAB0.DRW0.DUO0.DUO 00 nightlyFri_3 Fri_46
~CLI-E-(tCLImodem) command aborted by Ctrl-C
MBM>

• Invalid commands are echoed for easy identification.
For example:

MBM> crete
~CLI-E-(tCLImodem) unrecognized command verb: crete
MBM> create prt
~CLI-E-(tCLImodem) unrecognized keyword: prt
Usage: create {partition}
MBM>

2.7 Online Help

The brief help for each command displays the syntax and a one-line description. The synopsis
line lists all possible options and arguments for the command.

By default, issuing the command help displays a list of supported commands, and help * lists all
commands with their descriptions and syntax. You can also specify a particular command for
help. For example:

MBM>help show cable

NAME
sh[ow] cab[le]
FUNCTION
Display the cable configuration.
SYNOPSIS
show cable [-ip | -io]

MBM>

In the name line, the characters in square brackets ([]) are considered optional. As shown above,
the minimum abbreviated form of show cable is sh cab.

2-6

Command Line Interface

If you issue a command with syntactic errors, an error message followed by the correct command
usage is displayed, as shown here:

MBM>set time
~CLI-W-(tCLImodem): invalid parameters
Usage: set time <date> <time>

MBM>

2.8 MBM Failsafe Loader

If the main MBM firmware image becomes corrupt, the failsafe loader allows the user to recover
the system. It also allows the user to load a network-bootable MBM image over the network if
configured to do so.

Upon application of VAUX, the failsafe loader is the first piece of firmware to run. It performs
power-up diagnostics on the MBM hardware, and then loads/runs the main image. If the main
image is missing or corrupt, the failsafe loader will attempt to automatically install the update from
the PMU server. If the automatic updating fails, the failsafe loader will sit and wait at the FSL CLI
prompt. (“FSL> “)

2.8.1 Configuration & Booting Images

From the FSL CLI, two commands are available that are not available in the main MBM firmware
image. Bootline will configure the boot settings of MBM. Mbmboot will boot the MBM based on
the settings contained in the boot line. The bootline menu is shown below.

FSL> bootline

'.' = clear field; '-' = go to previous field; ^D = quit

boot device : flash0
processor number : 0
host name : host
file name : vxWorks
inet on ethernet (e) : 10.250.250.250
inet on backplane (b):
host inet (h) : 10.253.0.254
gateway inet (g) :
user (u) : target
ftp password (pw) (blank = use rsh):
flags (f) : 0xa0
target name (tn) :
startup script (s) :
other (o) : fei

The bootline options allow control over the name of the file to boot, the server to get the file from,
and startup flags. To boot an image over the network, change the boot device from flash to fei.
(Type “fei” and hit enter) To advance to the next option, hit enter without typing anything.

In practice, the only needed options are the boot device, the filename, the host inet (host to
download from). The other settings should be left to their default values.

2-7

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

2.8.2 Updating Firmware Images

The failsafe loader supports updating of firmware images. In order to update an image on a
micro running its failsafe loader, you must specify its cabinet, drawer, and micro type. For
example, to update the main MBM image from the failsafe loader (downloading from MBM1), type
the following command:

FSL> update mbmfw 10.1.0.1 -cabinet 0 -drawer 0 mbm

2.8.3 Getting Help

The failsafe loader supports online help like the normal CLI. Typing “help” at the FSL prompt will
produce a list of commands included in the failsafe loader. To get help on a specific command,
type “help <cmdname>”.

FSL> help

Commands

3.2 assign component

Assigns CPU and IO resources to a partition.

Note: A CPU and its associated IOs cannot be separated across hard partitions. In order to move
the IOP to a different hard partition, move its associated CPU to the targeted partition, and the
IOP will automatically follow the CPU to the same destination. The IOP can be moved around
between subpartitions within the same hard partition.

Syntax

assign component

[-cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer>]
{CPU<n>, IOP<n>, SBB}

-hp <hard_partition> [-sp <sub_partition>]

Arguments

CPU<n> The CPU by cabinet and drawer number. n refers to

the CPU number within the 8P drawer and ranges
from 0 to 7.

IOP<n> The IOP by cabinet and drawer number. n refers to

the IOP of the 8P drawer and ranges from 0 to 7. A
user can assign the IOP only to a subpartition.

SBB The SBB by cabinet and drawer number.

-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name.

-sp <sub_partition> Subpartition name. Assign to subpartition 0 if no
subpartition name is given.

Options

-cabinet <cabinet> Cabinet number in hex. If not specified, the

number defaults to 0.

-drawer <drawer> Drawer number in hex. If not specified, the number

defaults to 0.

Examples

1. Add the entire 8P drawer to the hard partition account_dept.

MBM> assign comp –ca 0 –dr 3 sbb –hp account_dept
MBM>

2. Delete the IO attached to CPU2 of the subpartition acct_usa.

MBM> assign comp –ca 0 –dr 3 IOP2 –hp account_dept -sp Free_Pool
MBM>

3. Add CPU 1 to the subpartition acct_usa.

Commands

3.3 assign memory

Assigns a portion of the hard partition’s physical memory to a subpartition. Explicitly assigning
memory to a hard partition is unnecessary because the RIMM population associated with each
CPU determines the partition's memory size.

Users cannot assign memory to the Free_Pool.

The smallest memory chunk allowed is 8MB.

To deassign memory, specify 0MB as the memory size.

Syntax

assign memory

<memory_size> -hp <hard_partition>
{-sp <sub_partition>, -com}

Arguments

<memory_size> The memory size in units of GB or MB; must be

multiples of 8MB.

-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name.

-sp <sub_partition> Subpartition name.

-com Assign the memory to community memory, accessible to

all subpartition within the hard partition.

Options

None

Examples

1. Assign 16GB of memory to the subpartition acct_usa.

MBM> assign mem 16GB –hp account_dept -sp acct_usa
MBM>

2. Assign 2GB of memory to the community.

MBM> assign mem 16GB -hp account_dept -com
MBM>

3. Deassign memory from the subpartition acct_usa. Memory for this subpartition becomes
unspecified.

MBM> assign mem 0MB -hp account_dept -sp acct_usa
MBM>

Commands

3.4 bootline

This command is usually used from the FSL. Changes the boot line used in the boot ROMs.
bootline determines the boot device, file name, and, if it is a network boot, the TFTP IP address.

If you are configuring to boot over a network and are booting multiple micros simultaneously,
configure each “inet on Ethernet” address to be unique among those micros. You can use the
micro IP address.

Syntax

bootline

Arguments

None

Options

None

Example

Change the method of booting to boot from the network by modifying the boot device to be fei
and “inet on Ethernet” to be 10.0.0.1. (Make sure that the "host inet" IP address matches the
TFTP server interface IP.)

3.5 build fru

Sets the part number and serial number of the FRU.

“Inaccessible” errors are usually due to IIC error.

FRU can be specified with qualifiers,
e.g. 'build fru -cab 0 -draw 2 -duo 1 VRM0.TERM'
or with the long format as listed in 'show fru' output,
e.g. 'build fru CAB0.DRW2.DUO1.VRM0.TERM'.
'build fru -rimm' for RIMM serialization.

RIMM serialization:

A unique RIMM FRU serial number in ASCII is based on the 12 character system serial number
concatenated with a 4 numeric alpha sequence number (0-9 then A-Z) determined by the RIMM’s
location. These 4-byte “CDSIs” are defined as the following:

C - Cabinet number represented by ASCII 0-7.

D - Duo number represented by ASCII hex 0-F within the cabinet.
It is calculated by (Drawer_num *4 + Duo_num). For example, 9 means drawer 2, duo 1. (Drawer
number ranges 0-3. So is Duo number within the drawer)

R - RIMM slot in Duo. ASCII 0-9 for CPU 0 RIMM 0-9.
ASCII A-J for CPU1 RIMM 0-9.

I - Insertion count (ASCII 0-9, then A-Z).

Firmware can't directly detect the RIMM insertion. A counter keeps track of how many times of
RIMM serialization done per Duo RIMMs and is stored in the DUO EEPROM.

RIMMs are usually serialized once. If the RIMMs are moved from one system to another, the
ones with mismatched sys_serial_num will be serialized upon request.

Syntax

build fru

{{{[-cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer> -duo <duo>] <fru>}
{cab<n>.[drw<n>.duo<n>].<fru>}}
{{<part_num> <serial_num> [<model>]},

-s Write raw data to the EEPROM. Used to apply any
FRU-specific data. Checksum is automatically
updated after the raw data is written.

-rimm Build a unique serial number across all RIMMs. The
RIMM number is based on the 12-character system
serial number concatenated with a 4-digit sequence
number determined by the RIMM's location. These
four digits, CDSI, are defined as:

C - Cabinet number 0 - 7
D - Duo number 0 - F (ASCII hex). It is calculated by
(drawer_num * 4 + duo_num)
S - RIMM slot 0 - 9 for CPU0, RIMM0-9; and A - J for
CPU1, RIMM0-9>

3.7 clear alert

Clears the current alert condition for the modem dial-out.

This command will cause the Server Management CLI on this platform to stop paging the remote
operator through the modem. However, it does not prevent server management from issuing
alerts to other platform's. If the alert for modem dial-out is not cleared, the Server Management
CLI will continue to page the remote operator every 30 minutes. If the sending of alert messages
is disabled, the triggering of alerts continues to occur, but nothing will be sent over the modem.
Also, the most recent alert is logged as the alert type. If the system is in secure mode (via the
Operator Control Panel keyswitch), the sending of alerts is still allowed, even through remote
access into the system is not.

Syntax

3.14 connect

Establishes a system COM1 session to a partition. This command starts a virtual terminal session
to the primary CPU in the partition so that the user can access the SRM console or operating
system. Enter the escape sequence <ESC><ESC>MBM to return to the server management CLI.

–hp and –sp are not needed if the system has only one subpartition (excluding Free_Pool). -sp
is not needed if there is only one subpartition in a given hard partition.

Each session has the MBM's or PBM’s IP address and a unique port number.

The SM environment variable "srm auto_connect" will control the auto connect feature. If it is set
to be "on", "connect" is issued automatically upon resetting or powering on a non-partitioned
system. Also, the current implementation of the connect command only handles communicating
with the SRM on CPU0.

Syntax

connect

3.15 create partition

Creates a partition. This command adds a new hard partition by providing the hard partition
name, maximum number of CPUs, subpartition type, and optional modifiers. It creates a
subpartition if the subpartition name is given. No attributes are necessary for a subpartition. (You

assign component or assign memory to define the components of a partition or subpartition.)

use

If no hard partitions are defined, a Default_HP and Default_SP are created with all CPUs and IOs
belonging to the Default_SP. The creation of the first user-created hard partition causes the
Default_HP to be deleted. The components of the deleted Default_HP go to the Global
Free_Pool. Whenever a hard partition is created, a Default_SP along with the Free_Pool is
created under that hard partition. When the first user-defined subpartition is created under a hard
partition, the Default_SP is deleted and its components go to the Global Free_Pool.

Syntax

create partition

{{-hp <hard_partition> <max_CPUs>
<sub_partition_type> [-stripe] },
{-hp <hard_partition> –sp <sub_partition>}}

Arguments

-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name. The name is limited to 19 characters
(alphanumeric and underscore only) and it cannot be
Default_HP or Free_Pool.

-sp <sub_partition> Subpartition name. The name is limited to 19 characters
(alphanumeric and underscore only) and it cannot be
Default_SP or Free_Pool.) . A hard partition is created if no
subpartition name is given.

max_CPUs The maximum number of CPUs that can ever be placed in the

hard partition. This value is used to determine the proper routing
and memory algorithm.

sub_partition_type The type of subpartitions in this hard partition:

soft soft partitions
firm firm partitions
semi semi-firm partitions

Options

-stripe Specify memory striping.

Examples

1. Create a hard partition account_dept with a maximum of 8 CPUs, define any
subsequently created subpartitions as soft partitions, and request memory striping.

MBM> create partition –hp account_dept 8 soft -stripe
MBM>

2. Create a subpartition under the hard partition account_dept.

3.16 delete partition

Destroys a partition. Returns all resources of the specified partition to the Free_Pool. The
partition(s) being destroyed must be in the halt or power-off state.

When the last user-defined subpartition within a hard partition is deleted, a Default_SP within that
hard partition is created with no components. When the last user-defined hard partition in the
system is deleted, a Default_HP and Default_SP are created with all CPUs and IOs belonging to
the Default_SP. The user cannot delete the Free_Pool.

Syntax

delete partition

{-hp <hard_partition>
[-sp <sub_partition>], -all}

Arguments

-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name.

-sp <sub_partition> Subpartition name. The hard partition and all of its subpartitions

3.36 power on

Turns on the power to a system, component, or partition.

If no arguments are given, this command powers on a system with one hard partition. By using
arguments, you can power on a specific hard partition or component.

When there is only one hard partition, the screen display shows the entire power up sequence
like the grid and diagnostics. However, if more then one hard partitions is defined in the
database, the hard partitions are powered on in parallel, a maximum of four hard partitions s at a
time. The detailed power up progress messages like the grid and the diagnostics messages, are
sent to the console session and do NOT come out on the MBM session.

Given two hard partitions (Yankees and RedSox) each with two sub-partitions (Jeter and Bernie
in Yankees, and Pedro and Noma in RedSox) issuing either “power on –all”, “power on –
hp RedSox”, or “Power on –hp Yankees” will power up the partitions and send the output to
the console session. When a user connects to the console session (conn –hp RedSox –sp
Pedro) the powerup messages (the grid and diagnostics) will be displayed. All of the sub­partition console buffers will contain the grid and diagnostics power up messages.

Any diagnostic failures from any hard partition are delivered to the MBM session for high visibility.
They also are sent to the console session.

Use the show power command to confirm the power state.

Syntax

power on

[ {[-cabinet <cabinet> -drawer <drawer>] {DUO<n>, IOR<n>, PCI, SBB}},
{-hp <hard_partition>, -all} ] [-xsrom]

Arguments

DUO<n> The dual-processor module by cabinet and drawer number. n refers to the module

within the 8P drawer and ranges from 0 to 3.

IOR<n> IOR by cabinet and drawer number. n refers to the IO riser within the PCI drawer

and ranges from 0 to 3 for he Expanded I/O shelf. (Note: Do not leave the IOR

power on if its connected CPU is off.)
PCI The PCI drawer by cabinet and drawer number.
SBB The entire system building block.

Options

-cabinet <cabinet> Cabinet number in hex. If not specified, the number defaults to

0.

-drawer <drawer> Drawer number in hex. If not specified, the number defaults to

0.

-hp <hard_partition> Hard partition name.

-all All partitions.

-xsrom Power up until the level at which XROM tests complete.

Commands

3.37 reset

Resets a CPU or a partition. This command resets the entire system if it is not partitioned. For a
partitioned system, the user must specify which partition to reset. It also enables a user to
selectively reset a CPU.

When there is only one hard partition, the screen display shows the entire reset sequence like the
grid and diagnostics. However, if more then one hard partition is defined in the database, the
hard partitions are reset on in parallel, a maximum of four hard partitions at a time. The detailed
progress messages like the grid and the diagnostics are sent to the console session and do NOT

3.39 set

Sets the value of a server management environment variable. This command is analogous to the
SRM set command; however, these settings are used to control the behavior of the Server
Management subsystem.

If the variable type is "integer", specify values in hex.

Note: See the section on

environment variables for details.

Syntax

set

<smv> <value>

Arguments

smv Variable name. Names are case insensitive and can consist of a

maximum of 32 characters including NULL.

value The value assigned to the variable. If the variable is of type integer,

specify values in hex.

Options

None

Example

Set the feature that automatically connects to the SRM during
power up.

MBM> set srm_auto_connect 1

3-64

Commands

3.40 set alert

Sets the modem alert string. This string should be set to a meaningful value, such as the system
serial number or remote access phone number. The maximum string length is 63 characters. The
alert string is sent to the modem after the dial string.

Syntax

set alert

[<alert_string>]

Argument

alert_string The ASCII string that is sent to the modem when an alert condition is

triggered. It is sent after the dial string is sent. Issuing the set alert
command without an alert string causes the current alert string to be
erased.

Options

None

Example

Set up the alert string.

MBM> set alert 15085551212#;
MBM00

Note: The # and ; characters are required to terminate the alert string. Without them the alert
may not be sent to a numeric paging system and dial-in may be disabled.

See Also

3-65

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

3.41 set baud

Changes the serial port baud rate. This command enables users to change the baud rate of the
modem port. The baud rate is nonvolatile.

Syntax

set baud

or

set

<modem_baud> <baud_rate>

<baud_rate>

Argument

baud_rate The baud rate for the specified channel; one of 2400, 3600, 4800, 7200, 960 0,

19200, 38400, and 57600.

Options

None

Example

MBM> set baud 38400
MBM>

See Also

clear port, set flow, show modem

3-66

Commands

3.42 set dial

Sets the modem dial string. The dial string is the target phone number and any appropriate
modem commands required by the target. It is nonvolatile across system resets and power
cycles. The maximum string length is 63 characters. The dial string is sent to the modem before
the alert string.

Because modem commands disallow mixed cases, all alphabetic characters in t he dial string are
converted to uppercase.

Syntax

set dial

[<dial_string>]

Argument

dial_string The ASCII string that is sent to the modem when an alert condition is

triggered. If no argument is given, the dial string is erased.

Options

None

Example

Set up the dial string to call a numeric paging service.

MBM> set dial atdt9,15085551212#;
MBM>

AlphaServer ES47/ES80/GS1280 Server Management CLI Reference

3.43 set escape

Changes the server management CLI escape sequence.

This command enables the user to change the escape sequence used for invoking the server
management CLI. The escape sequence can be any character string, not to exceed 15
characters, and it is case insensitive. A typical sequence consists of two or more control
characters. It is recommended that control characters be used in preference to ASCII characters.
The escape sequence is stored in the MBM's or PBM’s EEPROM. The default escape sequence
is ^[^[SPMU. The escape key on a PC keyboard is equivalent to ^[ (control left-bracket). Either
<esc> or ^[ is acceptable.

Use the show modem command to confirm the escape sequence before exiting the server
management CLI.

Syntax

set escape

[<esc_sequence>]

Argument

esc_sequence The escape sequence for entering the server management CLI. The

default escape sequence is restored if no argument is provided.

Options

None

Example

The following example consists of two instances of the Esc key and the letters FUN. The F is
not displayed when you set the escape sequence because it is preceded by the escape
character.

MBM> set escape un
MBM>

3.44 set flow

Changes the flow control of the modem port. The flow control type is nonvolatile.

Syntax

Commands

set flow

set

<flow_control>

or

<modem_flow> <flow_control>
Where modem_flow is a server management environment
variable.

Argument

flow_control The supported flow control types for the modem port: none, software,

hardware, or both.

Options

3.45 set init

Sets the initialization string that is sent to the modem when the enable remote command is
issued. The initialization string is stored in the MBM’s EEPROM and has a maximum length of 31
characters.

Because modem commands disallow mixed cases, all alphabetic characters entered in the ini t
string are converted to uppercase. It also automatically configures the modem’s flow control
according to the flow control setting and enables the modem carrier detect features to monitor the
modem connectivity.

Syntax

set init

[<init_string>]

Argument

init_string The ASCII string that is sent to the modem when the system management

CLI attempts to initialize it for remote access and sending of alerts. The
init string is erased if no parameter is given.

Options

None

Example

Set up the initialization string.

MBM> set init ate0v0&c1s0=3
MBM>
