Example:

To set the primary CMM name to Lenovo_lab, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type 
config -name Lenovo_lab -T mm[p]
To display the primary CMM name, location, and contact name, while the Lenovo Flex System 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 Lenovo_lab -T mm[p]
OK
system> config -T mm[p]
-name Lenovo_lab
-contact John_Doe
-loc Main_Lab
