nonvolatile storage.

formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands

nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of
the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.

Prompting for Product Level FRU Information

Through the use of a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for
FRU information.
