Before You Begin

To manage system components, you need the Reset and Host Control (r) role enabled.

View Component Information

Follow these steps to view component information:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. At the prompt, type:

-> show component_name type

For example:

-> show /SYS/MB type
    Properties:
        type = Motherboard
    Commands:
        show

The properties that display inventory information are listed below. The properties that you are able to view depend on the target type you use.

fru_part_number

fru_manufacturer

fru_serial_number

fru_name

fru_description

fru_version

chassis_serial_number

chassis_part_number

product_name

product_serial_number

product_part_number

customer_frudata

Prepare to Remove a Component

Follow these steps to prepare a component for removal:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set target prepare_to_remove_action=true

For example:

-> set /CH/RFM0 prepare_to_remove_action=true
Set ’prepare_to_remove_action’ to ’true’

After you prepare the component for removal, you can verify that it is ready to be physically removed.

3. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> show target prepare_to_remove_status

For example:

-> show /CH/RFM0 prepare_to_remove_status
    Properties:
        prepare_to_remove_status = Ready|NotReady
    Commands:
        cd
        set
        show
        start
        stop

The Ready|NotReady statement in the example shows whether the device is ready to be removed.

Return a Component to Service

Follow these steps to return a component to service:

Note - If you have already prepared a component for removal, and you wish to undo the action, you can do so remotely.

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set target return_to_service_action=true

For example:

-> set /CH/RFM0 return_to_service_action=true

Set ’return_to_service_action’ to ’true’

Enable and Disable Components

Follow these steps to enable and disable components:

1. Log in to the ILOM SP CLI or the CMM CLI.

2. At the ILOM command prompt, type:

--> set <target> component_state=enabled|disabled

For example:

-> set /SYS/MB/CMP0/P0/C0 component_state=enabled

Set ‘component_state’ to ‘enabled’
