How You Use the FRU/SDR Load Utility
The utility:
Is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS Ver. 6.22 (and later versions), Windows
®
95 DOS, and Windows
®
98 DOS
Accepts CFG, SDR, and FRU load files (the executable file for the utility is FRU/SDR.exe)
Requires the following supporting files:
– One or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units
– A .cfg file describing the system configuration
– An .sdr file describing the sensors in the system
Command Line Format
If you are not performing an automated update using a Software Update Package (SUP), the
basic command line format is:
FRU/SDR [-?] [-h] [-d {fru, sdr}] [-cfg filename.cfg] [-fru filename.fru]
Table 9. Command Line Format
Command Description
-? or -h Displays usage information.
-d {fru, sdr} Displays requested area only.
-cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file.
-p Pause between blocks of data.
Parsing the Command Line
The FRU
/SDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line
function can consist of two parameters. Example: -cfg filename.cfg. Invalid parameters cause
an error message and exit the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to
specify command line options. Use the -p and flags with any of the other options.
Displaying a Given Area
When the utility is run with the -d FRU or -d SDR command line flag, information about each
area is read from memory and printed on the screen. Each area represents one sensor for
each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an
inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message
and exits.
Using Specified CFG File
Run the utility with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename can be
any DOS-accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the specified CFG file
and uses the entries in that file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load
into nonvolatile storage.
