Using a specified CFG file
In most cases, you'll use the standard configuration file master.cfg that
is supplied with the utility on the System CD and with software
updates:
FRUSDR -cfg master.cfg
The utility loads the specified CFG file and uses the information in that
file to:
• Verify that the CFG file is the correct one for the hardware model
• Load the data from the FRU files, prompting the user for
information as necessary
• Select the proper SDRs and load them into nonvolatile storage
Using a specified FRU file
If you run FRUSDR using the master.cfg file, and FRUSDR halts
prematurely, you can update individual FRU areas by using the -fru
switch and a specific FRU file.
Note: FRUSDR, when run using the -fru switch, does not check to
make sure it is running on the correct hardware for the specified
FRU file. The -fru switch causes FRUSDR to overwrite all
information in the specified FRU area.
Updating nonvolatile storage areas
The .fru and .sdr files are specific to a particular server platform. The
files include header information to identify the platform. The utility
verifies that a file is being used with the correct server before updating
any information in nonvolatile storage. Prior to updating the SDR
information, the SDR area in nonvolatile storage is cleared.
