FRU/SDR load utility
The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) load
utility is a DOS-based program used to update the server management
subsystem's product level FRU and SDR nonvolatile storage. The utility:
• Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a
master configuration file
• Displays the FRU, SDR, and SMB information
• Updates the nonvolatile storage managed by the BMC that holds
the SDR and FRU area
• Generically handles FRU devices that might not be associated with
the BMC
When to run the FRU/SDR load utility
You'll need to run the FRU/SDR utility in these situations:
• When first setting up your server
• Whenever you change the number of power supplies, processors,
or fans in the server
• When installing a FRU/SDR update (page 193)
Note: If the FRU/SDR configuration information in BMC
nonvolatile storage does not match the physical configuration of
the server, you might see false errors generated by sensors that
don't actually exist, and sensors that do exist might not be
monitored. So, it is important to keep the configuration up to
date.
Running the FRU/SDR load utility
You can run the utility directly from the Utilities menu of the System
CD. However, if you have downloaded an update, you should run the
updated version from the update diskette.
The executable file for the utility is FRUSDR.EXE. The utility requires
the following:
• ROM-DOS version 6.22 or MS-DOS version 6.22 (and later versions)
