Description : Utilities for maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms
The powerpc-ibm-utils-papr package provides the utilities listed below
which are intended for the maintenance of IBM PowerPC platforms that
follow the POWER Architecture Platform Reference (sorry, still an IBM
internal document). Further documentation for each of the utilities is
available from their respective man pages and doxygen design documents.
* activate_firmware - concurrent firmware activation
Used during concurrent firmware update operations to activate the
new firmware image locally. This utility is invoked automatically
when necessary.
* hvcsadmin - HVCS driver administration utility
This is the hvcs driver administration utility which simplifies hvcs
administration by providing a set of options for such functions
as closing adapter targets using device mapping, querying console
adapters, querying adapters based upon device node, gathering status,
and closing all open adapters.
* ibmvscsis.sh - IBMVSCSIS driver init script
When symlinked into start and stop run levels this script can provide
vscsi server operation automation. It supports the standard array
of init script options {start|stop|status|restart}. By design this
script executes operations in silent mode. For extended vscsi server
operations the vscsisadmin script should be used instead.
* rtas_dump - dump the contents of a rtas event
A small script to front end rtas_event_decode. Just because pulling
rtas events out of files is easier in a script.
* rtas_event_decode - dump the contents of a rtas event
This is the back-end tool used by rtas_dump to actually parse out
and print rtas events.
* rtas_ibm_get_vpd
Used by the lsvpd utility to gather Vital Product Data that changes
dynamically.
* serv_config/uspchrp - configure service processor settings
A series of menus that can be used to update system service settings
stored in NVRAM, which are used by the system's service processor.
These settings include surveillance, boot, and remote maintenance
policies. This utility is only usable on systems equipped with a
service processor.
* set_poweron_time - configure time for system power-on
A utility to set a time in the future for the system to automatically
power on, if the system is powered off at that time.
* uesensor
A utility to view the state of environental sensors on powerpc
machines.
* update_flash - system firmware update utility
A script that uses the rtas_flash kernel module to flash firmware.
* usysattn, usysfault - attention indicator utility
A utility to view the status of the system attention (fault)
indicators (LEDs), and to turn the indicators off when after an
event has been serviced.
* usysident - identification indicator utility
A utility to view the status of device identification indicators
(LEDs), and to turn the indicators on and off.
* vscsisadmin - IBM Virtual SCSI Server (ibmvscsis) administration
utilities
This is the virtual scsi server administration utility which
simplifies configuration, starting, and stopping of an IBM virtual
SCSI server. This script can be run standalone or it can be invoked
via the ibmvscsis.sh init script. Configuration script documentation
is provided in ibmvscsis.conf (8) and outlines the proper method
for writing a well formed ibmvscsis configuration file.
