chvpd
Use the chvpd command to set vital product data (VPD) such as serial number and machine type.
Syntax
Parameters
- -serial serial_number
- (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. - -fcportmap physical_port_locations_list | legacy_port_mappings_list | standard_map_name
- (Optional) Specifies the FC I/O port location on the node that is mapped to a slot or port.
- Specify
-fcportmap physical_port_locations_listto associate physical ports with an FC I/O port ID and to use the port WWPNs that are defined for the FC I/O port ID. The physical port location is made up of 2 digits, which represent the slot number (first digit) and port number (second digit).Note: This value is a comma-separated list of physical port locations. - Specify
-fcportmap legacy_port_mappings_listto associate physical ports with an FC I/O port ID and to use the WWPN value that is defined for the port location of the replaced node. Thus, the WWPN for the port on the new node is the same as the mapped port on the replaced node. A legacy port mapping maps a physical port location on the new system to a physical port location on the replaced system.Note: This value is a comma-separated list of legacy port mappings. - Specify
-fcportmap standard_map_nameto specify a standard port mapping.Note: The FC I/O port ID of each port is defined by its position in the list.
- Specify
- -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.
Note: There must be a location node error active on the node for this command to be successful.
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
