You can use SGI Altix UV controller commands to monitor and manage SGI Altix UV systems. You can use them from the SGI Management Node command line interface (CLI) or the chassis manager controller (CMC) CLI.
Typically, commands available from the SMN or CMC command line are in the form of:
command [options] [targets]
For available commands see below or type "help" at the SMN/CMC prompt. Commands are located in /sysco/bin on both the SMN and CMC. For options available with each command, type "command -help".
Multiple targets may be specified, if no targets are specified, all BMCs or CMCs (as appropriate for a command) are assumed. Some targets may need to be quoted to avoid wildcard expansion by the SMN/CMC shell.
Table 3-1. CMC Command Targets
Command Target | BMCs (rack,upos,slot,BMC type) | CMCs (rack,upos,CMC type) |
|---|---|---|
*,all | Any,Any,Any,Any | Any,Any,Any |
r* | rack,Any,Any,Any | rack,Any,Any |
r*i* | rack,upos,Any,IRURTR+IRUCOMP | rack,upos,IRU |
r*q* | rack,upos,Any, QCRRTR | rack,u, QCR |
r*i*b* | rack,upos,slot,IRUCOMP | N/A |
r*i*r* | rack,upos,slot,IRURTR | N/A |
r*q*r* | rack,upos,slot,QCRRTR | N/A |
*c | N/A | Any,Any,Any |
r*i*c | N/A | rack,upos,IRU |
r*q*c | N/A | rack,upos, QCR |
allb,allc | Any,Any,Any,IRUCOMP | N/A |
allbi,allci | ANY,ANY,ANY,IRUIO | N/A |
allr | Any,Any,Any,IRURTR+QCRRTR | N/A |
allri | Any,Any,Any,IRUCOMP+IRURTR | N/A |
allrq | Any,Any,Any,QCRRTR | N/A |
p* | all IRUCOMP with matching partition | N/A |
An asterisk references all values in that position such that r* references all racks, i* references all IRUs, etc. A decimal number can replace any asterisk to narrow the target selection. Ranges are not support but a space separated list of targets is supported.
BMC Types
IRUCOMP - IRU computer blades (blade slots 0 through 15 on Altix UV 1000, or 0 through 1 on Altix UV 100).
IRUIO - IRU computer blades with an IO riser (blade slots 0 through 15 on Altix UV 1000, or 0 through 2 on Altix UV 100)
IRURTR - IRU router blades (router slots 0 through 3)
QCRRTR - Quad Compact Router (QCR) router blades (slots 0 through 3)
CMC Types
IRU - Altix UV 1000 or Altix UV 100
 | Note: Most of the commands (bios, bmc, cmc, config, hwcfg, log, power, uvcon (console)) are available at both the CMC prompt (as user root), as well as, the system management node (SMN) prompt (as user sysco). |
The available commands on the CMC are, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> help
available commands are:
auth authenticate SSN/APPWT change
bios perform bios actions
bmc access BMC shell
cmc access CMC shell
config show system configuration
console access system consoles
help list available commands
hel access hardware error logs
hwcfg access hardware configuration variable
leds display system LED values
log display system controller logs
power access power control/status
type '<cmd> --help' for help on individual command.
|
The auth command is currently only used to set the APPWT limit for export compliance. You need to obtain the key and reset the limit if needed.
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r014i01c> auth --help usage: auth [-ard] [-s <SSN>] <key> [<key>]... [--help] [TARGET]... -s, --ssn=<SSN> system serial number change -a, --appwt APPWT change -r, --reset set learn mode -d, --disable disable authentication <key> authentication keys --help display this help and exit |
Use the bios command to get BIOS information for your system after it is powered on, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> bios ==== 4/4 BMC(s) ==== Last booted: SGI BIOS Version 2 Revision 0 built in 20101012_1502 by ajm on Oct 12 2010 at 15:08:29 |
You can get a usage statement, as follows:

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:

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). When using the power command, you no longer have to power up the individual rack unit (IRU). When you issue the power command, it checks to see if the IRU is powered on, if not, it will power it up first and then the compute blades.
You can get a usage statement, as follows:
CMC:r1i1c> power --help usage: power [-vchosw] on|up [bmc] [--noio] [TARGET]... on|up turn power on bmc turn aux power on --noio do not power on accessories (IO) -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables (system/partition targets only) -h, --hold hold in reset -o, --override override partition check -s, --single single node boot -w, --watch watch boot progress usage: power [-vo] off|down [bmc] [--noio] [--nochassis] [TARGET]... off|down turn power off bmc turn aux power off --noio do not power off accessories (IO) --nochassis do not power off chassis power -v, --verbose verbose output -o, --override override partition check usage: power [-vchosw] reset [bmc|iobmc] [TARGET]... reset system reset bmc|iobmc BMC reset -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables (system/partition targets only) -h, --hold hold in reset -o, --override override partition check -s, --single single node boot -w, --watch watch boot progress usage: power [-vchosw] cycle [bmc] [--noio] [--nochassis] [TARGET]... cycle cycle power off on bmc cycle aux power --noio do not power cycle accessories (IO) --nochassis do not power cycle chassis power -v, --verbose verbose output -c, --clear clear EFI variables (system/partition targets only) -h, --hold hold in reset -o, --override override partition check -s, --single single node boot -w, --watch watch boot progress usage: power [-v10ud] [status] [TARGET]... status show power status -v, --verbose verbose output -1, --on show only blades with on status -0, --off show only blades with off status -u, --unknown show only blades with unknown status -d, --disabled show only blades with disabled status usage: power [-ov] nmi|debug [TARGET]... nmi|debug issue NMI -o, --override override partition check -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 cancel [TARGET]... cancel cancel outstanding power action 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 command from the cmc or bmc, as follows:
cmc sensor bmc sensor |
