DESCRIPTION

Run the controller ‑beacon ‑controller controller-id-or-fqn command to identify the specified Controller in your data center. If you do not specify a Controller, an error message displays the list of available Controllers.

Note: Administrators with primary administrator, admin1, admin2, monitor, or support roles are authorized to run controller ‑beacon command.

OPTIONS

‑chassis

Specifies 0 as the FRU number for the chassis of the Controller to beacon. The value for the chassis is 0.

‑controller

Specifies the fully qualified name (FQN) or the unique identifier (ID) of a Controller.

‑cpu

Specifies the CPU to beacon. The LEDs flash on the Controller within which the CPU resides. When specifying memory to beacon, provide a value to identify the CPU in which the specified memory card slot resides. Values are 0 or 1.

‑esm

Specifies the energy storage module (ESM) to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the ESM card and the LEDs for the Controller in which the specified FRU resides. Values are 0 and 1.

‑fan

Specifies the fan to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the Controller within which the fan resides. Values are 0 through 4.

‑mb

Specifies the motherboard to beacon. The flashing LEDs identify the Controller in which the motherboard resides. There is only one motherboard in the Controller. The value is 0.

‑memory

Specifies the DIMM or NVDIMM card slot. Beacons the Controller chassis in which the memory card resides. Values are 0 through 7.

Note: In addition to the slot number, you must specify the CPU in which the memory card resides by specifying a value for the ‑cpu option. The DIMM cards reside in slots 0 through 7 on CPU 0, and in slots 2 through 7 on CPU 1. The NVDIMM cards reside in slots 0 and 1 on CPU 1.

‑nicHba

Specifies the network interface HBA card to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the Controller in which the card resides. Values are 0 through 5.

‑pcieRiser

Specifies the PCIe riser to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the Controller within which the PCIe riser resides. Values are 0, 1, or 2.

‑powerSupply

Specifies the power supply to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the Controller in which the power supply resides. Values are 0 or 1.

‑reverseBeacon

Flashes the LEDs on the Controller. Also flashes the component LEDs except for the LEDs of the specified FRU. Use reverse beaconing to identify the failed FRU in a pair of FRUs for the following FRUs:

The power supplies.
The energy storage modules (ESMs).

‑sasHba

Specifies the SAS HBA card to beacon. Flashes the LEDs for the Controller in which the SAS HBA card resides. Values are 0 through 5.

‑stop

Stops the specialized LED beaconing request and returns all LED indicators to their normal function.

EXAMPLE

Task

Identify a failed power supply that was prepared for replacement.

Parameters

The name of the Controller preceded by a forward slash: /⁠CONTROLLER-0
The FRU number of the failed power supply: 0
