Use the bios command to get BIOS information for your system after it is powered on, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> bios ==== r001i01b00 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 2010 at 16:02:59 ==== r001i01b01 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 2010 at 16:02:59 ==== r001i01b02 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 2010 at 16:02:59 ==== r001i01b03 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 2010 at 16:02:59 ==== r001i01b04 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 2010 at 16:02:59 ==== r001i01b05 ==== SGI BIOS Version 1 Revision 2 built in 20100506_1553 by ajm on May 6 .... |
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> bios --help usage: bios [-v] [--help] [TARGET]... -v, --version display last BIOS version/banner --help display this help and exit |
Allows you to send a command to one or more board management controllers (BMCs). It is a shell command similar in behavior to the ssh command.
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> bmc --help usage: bmc exec <command> [-t <seconds>] [TARGET]... exec executes command on BMC(s) <command> command to execute -t, --timeout=<seconds> timeout value usage: bmc list [TARGET]... list list active shells on BMC(s) usage: bmc kill [TARGET]... kill kill all active shells on BMC(s) usage: bmc --help --help display this help and exit |
Allows you to send a command to one or more chassis manager controllers (CMCs). It is a shell command similar in behavior to the ssh command.
.
CMC:r1i1c> cmc --help usage: cmc exec <command> [-t <seconds>] [TARGET]... exec executes command on CMC(s) <command> command to execute -t, --timeout=<seconds> timeout value usage: cmc list [TARGET]... list list active shells on CMC(s) usage: cmc kill [TARGET]... kill kill all active shells on CMC(s) usage: cmc --help --help display this help and exit |
The CMC cofig command shows your system configuration, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> config -v
CMCs: 1
r001i01c UV1000
BMCs: 2
r001i01b00 IP93-BASEIO
r001i01b01 IP93-DISK
Partitions: 1
partition000 BMCs: 2

You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> config --help usage: config [-v] [--help] -v, --verbose verbose output --help display this help and exit |
Use the flashbios command to flash the latest BIOS located in the /work/bmc/common directory on your CMC. For an example of how this command is used, see “Upgrading System BIOS” in Chapter 2.
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> flashbios --help
Illegal option --
NAME
flashbios -- Flash UV BIOS from CMC
SYNOPSIS
flashbios [-e] [-n] [flashfile]
DESCRIPTION
The file specified by flashfile is flashed into the flash devices
on all nodes of the UV system. By default the system will be
automatically reset after the flash completes.
The flash file must be located in the CMC directory /work/bmc/common
on the CMC. The default name of the flash file is 'bios.latest.fd'.
The following options are available:
-e Erase BIOS variables and BIOS scratch space while
resetting the system. This option will be ignored
if '-n' is also specified.
-n Do not automatically reset the system.

The hwcfg command can be used to access hardware override variables.
CMC:r1i1c> hwcfg -a -v BLADE_DISABLE=no DEBUG_SW=0x0 HUB_CORE_SPEED=400 ICH_DISABLE=no IORISER_DISABLE=no MAX_CORES=0 NL5_CABLE_ENABLE=yes NL5_ENABLE=yes NL5_HUB2_WAR=no NL5_NEAR_LB=no NL5_RATE=6.25 NL5_SCRAMBLE=0x0 PARTITION=0 SMT_ENABLE=no SOCKET_DISABLE=no |
Here is an example showing a system with four partition.
uv32-cmc CMC:r1i1c> hwcfg -a -v NL5_RATE=5.0 PARTITION=1 ................................................ 16/64 BMC(s) PARTITION=2 ................................................ 16/64 BMC(s) PARTITION=3 ................................................ 16/64 BMC(s) PARTITION=4 ................................................ 16/64 BMC(s) |
You can use hwcfg -c to clear the four partitions, as follows:
uv32-cmc CMC:r1i1c> hwcfg -c partition PARTITION=0 <PENDING RESET> |
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> hwcfg --help usage: hwcfg [-dv] [var[=val]]... [--help] [TARGET]... var[=val] variable [and value to set] -d, --default reset variable(s) to default value -v, --verbose show variable(s) regardless of override state --help display this help and exit, use with variable(s) to get specific help |
The CMC power command allows you to power on, power off, reset, cycle, get status and invoke the kernel debugger (KDB).
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> power --help usage: power [-vco] on|up [TARGET]... on|up turn power on -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-vo] off|down [TARGET]... off|down turn power off -v, --verbose verbose output -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-vcho] reset [TARGET]... reset toggle reset -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables -h, --hold hold reset high -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-v] ioreset [TARGET]... ioreset toggle I/O reset -v, --verbose verbose output usage: power [-vcho] cycle [TARGET]... cycle cycle power off on -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables -h, --hold hold reset high -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-vo] status [TARGET]... status show power status -v, --verbose verbose output -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-v] nmi|debug [TARGET]... nmi|debug issue NMI -v, --verbose verbose output usage: power [-v] margin [high|low|norm|<value>] [TARGET]... margin power margin control high|low|norm|<value> margin state -v, --verbose verbose output usage: power --help --help display this help and exit |
Only valid for CMC data in this form. Use the sensor command to get system temperatures, fan speed, and voltage information and so on, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> sensor |
Use the showbios command to show the latest BIOS version used on your system, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> showbios Flashed on Sat May 1 14:14:45 UTC 2010 was bios.latest.fd (20100429_1603) |
The uvcon command allows you to open a console window on the CMC or BMC or even a compute blade. Use CTRL -] q to exit.
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> uvcon --help
usage: uvcon [-bnd23] [--smn=<hostname>] [--cmc=<hostname>] [--steal] [--spy] [--kill] [--dump] [--notty] [--nocache] [--help] [TARGET] Note:
--smn=<hostname> SMN hostname
--cmc=<hostname> CMC hostname
-b, --baseio specifies baseio bmc console
-n, --normal specifies nbmc console (normal channel)
-d, --debug specifies nbmc console (debug channel)
-2, --chan2 specifies nbmc console (channel 2)
-3, --chan3 specifies nbmc console (channel 3)
--steal steal the console
--spy spy the console
--kill kill all other uvcon sessions
--dump dump the cached console, exit
--notty disables tty interventions
--nocache don't return cached output
--help display this help and exit
TARGET console target
Note: When tty mode is enabled, use 'CTRL-]' 'q' to exit.
