- (Optional) Specifies the serial number for system board or enclosure.
- -type machine_type_model
- (Optional) Specifies the machine model type.
- -wwnn1 wwnn1
- (Optional) Specifies the WWNN of canister
1.Note: wwnn1 will no longer work on node 2, when the panel_name is not present. - -wwnn2 wwnn2
- (Optional) Specifies the WWNN of canister
2.Note: wwnn2 will no longer work with node 1, when the panel_name is not present. - -machinepartnumber mpn
- (Optional) Specifies the machine part number.
- -resetclusterid
- (Optional) Resets the system ID to
0.Note:- resetclusterid will only work on the current node it is on or the one specified by panel_name.
- The resetclusterid flag will no longer warm start the partner node.
- The partner cluster ID is ignored when clustering.
- panel_name
- (Optional) Identifies the node that is used.
- -replacemidplane
- (Optional) Fills in the details for the FRU part midplane replacement. Using this parameter
fills in the following fields:
- The MTM in the midplane VPD, if empty.
- The serial number in the midplane VPD, if empty.
- The personality ID in the midplane VPD, if emtpy.

Description
The command sets vital product data (VPD), including the serial number, WWPN, machine type, and system ID.Remember: When you specify
chvpd, one or more nodes might experience a reset or a restart. For example,
these parameters might cause a restart:
- -fcportmap resets a node or one node canister
- -idfile resets a node
- -serial restarts both nodes or node canisters
- -type restarts both nodes or node canisters
- -wwnn resets a node or one node canister
