info command

This command displays information about Flex System components and their configuration.

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 info command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the info command.

Table 1. info command.

The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.

Display component information Displays identification and configuration information for the command target. info

Note: Only one target at a time can be viewed with the info command.

Display management channel path information Displays the management channel path information for the specified command target. The following information is returned:
  • Channel status
  • MAC address
Note: For I/O modules that are members of a stack, the info -path command option is not applicable and should be disregarded.

Note:
  1. This command returns vital product data (VPD) information that is unique for each command target. For some targets, additional VPD information is available when using the CMM.
  2. Information returned for "Slots" is of the following format. This format applies only to information returned from the info command and is not used when specifying command targets.
    • Slots: x for devices that occupy one node bay, where x indicates the node bay.
    • Slots: x-y for devices that occupy two side-by-side node bays, where x indicates the left node bay and y indicates the right node bay.
    • Slots: x:y for multiple devices that occupy one node bay, where x indicates the node bay and y indicates the device within the node bay. Devices are numbered from bottom to top. with 1 being the lowest device and the number increasing as you move up.
    • Slots: x-y:z for multiple devices that occupy two side-by-side node bays, where x indicates the left node bay, y indicates the right node bay, and z indicates the device within the node bays. Devices are numbered from left to right. with 1 being on the left and the number increasing as you move to the right.
    • Slots: x,y,z for devices that occupy multiple non-contiguous node bays, where the node bay numbers are a comma-delimited list in ascending order. The list will specify a minimum of two bay numbers.
  3. For compute nodes, information returned for "Name" will display a read-only name, defined by the system, followed by a user-defined name in parenthesis, if one has been specified. For example, Name: Node 05 ( mynode5 ).
Example: To view the information about the Flex System Enterprise Chassis, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
info
To view the information about a compute node in bay 6, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
info -T blade[6]
To view the information about compute node 1 in a logical node grouping in bay 3, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
info -T bladegroup[3]:blade[1]
To view the information about the power module in bay 1, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
info -T power[1]
