Display the InfiniBand Cable FRU ID Information


Note - Retrieving FRU ID information from an InfiniBand cable is only possible if the cable supports the IPMI specification for providing FRU ID information.


  1. Identify the prerequisite and subsequent tasks you must perform in conjunction with this procedure, to install the switch.

    See the table in Installation Sequence.

  2. On the CMC, type:
    # clia fruinfo IPMB_address FRU_number

    where:

    The following example is the output connector 2A on line card 1:

    # clia fruinfo 84 6 
    Pigeon Point Shelf Manager Command Line Interpreter
    84: FRU # 6, FRU Info 
    Common Header:    Format Version = 1 
    Board Info Area: 
         Version     = 1 
         Language Code            = 25 
         Mfg Date/Time            = Mar 13 10:34:00 2009 (6941434 minutes since 1996) 
         Board Manufacturer       = 
         Board Product Name       = 
         Board Serial Number      = 
         Board Part Number        = 
         FRU Programmer File ID   = 
    Product Info Area: 
         Version     = 1 
         Language Code            = 25 
         Manufacturer Name        = MergeOptics  GmbH 
         Product Name             = 10m,  84  Circuit iPass  Stacked  Active Optical Cable 
         Product Part / Model#    = 
         Product Version          = Rev. 50 
         Product Serial Number    = 2612BER-0911XB0054 
         Asset Tag                = 
         FRU Programmer File ID   = 2612BER-0911XB0054.inf 
    #
  3. Repeat Step 2 for all installed cables on all installed line cards.
  4. Interface with the InfiniBand software stack.
