HWQUERY command-line syntax
hwquery [path]hpdiscoveryfilename [path]allboards.xml variable=<string>
...
HWQUERY command-line arguments
Command-line argument Description
[path]hpdiscoveryfilename This argument specifies the hardware discovery file used to
run the query.
[path]allboards.xml This argument specifies the allboards.xml PCI device list file,
which is used to convert PCI IDs found in hardware discovery
into device names, such as "Smart Array 5i Controller."
variable=<string> In this argument, variable is the name of an environment
variable and <string> is a PCI device name or the name of an
element from the hardware discovery file. Arguments must be
in quotes if <string> contains spaces. <string> is
case-sensitive.
... You can specify multiple variable=<string> arguments.
HWQUERY return codes
Value Meaning
0 The command was completed successfully
n
N arguments were ignored because they were not in the variable=<string> format.
HWQUERY command-line examples
Command-line argument Description
hwquery hpdiscovery.xml allboards.xml
MY_SYS_RAM=TotalRAM
For a hpdiscovery.xml file that contains
<TotalRAM>768</TotalRAM>, HWQUERY
produces the following:
MY_SYS_RAM=768
hwquery hpdiscovery.xml allboards.xml
"TEST=Smart Array"
For a hpdiscovery.xml file that indicates a Smart
Array 5i Controller is present, HWQUERY
produces the following:
TEST=Smart Array 5i Controller
hwquery hpdiscovery.xml allboards.xml
MYRAM=TotalRAM MYROMDATE=ROMDate
For a hpdiscovery.xml file that contains
<TotalRAM>768</TotalRAM> and
<ROMDate>11/15/2002</ROMDate>,
HWQUERY produces the following:
MYRAM=768
MYROMDATE=11/15/2002
hwquery hpdiscovery.xml allboards.xml
"TEST=smart array 5i"
Although the controller is present, HWQUERY
produces the following:
TEST=
This behavior is correct. The string is case-sensitive,
and the argument uses lowercase lettering instead
of the uppercase found in the allboards.xml file.
