config command

This command sets and displays the name of the CMM or compute node and the location and contact name for the CMM.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or config command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the config command.

Example:

To set the primary CMM name to IBM_lab, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
config -name IBM_lab -T mm[p]
To display the primary CMM name, location, and contact name, while the Flex System Enterprise Chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
config -T mm[p]

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

system> config -name IBM_lab -T mm[p]
OK
system> config -T mm[p]
-name IBM_lab
-contact John_Doe
-loc Main_Lab
system>
