6.7 Creating a PPAR Configuration List


6.7 Creating a PPAR Configuration List
The SPARC M12-1 has only one physical partition. Therefore, a PPAR configuration list is set for every SPARC M12-1. For the SPARC M12-1, you can set only the configuration policy (specifying the degradation range for an error detected by an initial diagnosis of the hardware).
Use the showpcl command to check a PPAR configuration list (PCL), and use the setpcl command to set a PCL. For an explanation of the setpcl command options, see the setpcl command man page or the Fujitsu SPARC M12 and Fujitsu M10/SPARC M10 XSCF Reference Manual.
In the case of the SPARC M12-1, a single SPARC M12-1 is treated as one physical partition (PPAR). Firmware treats the SPARC M12-1 in this circumstance as a single physical system board (PSB). The PPAR is defined by assigning the number of the logical system board (LSB) corresponding to the single PSB.
  1. Execute the showpcl command to check a PPAR configuration list.
XSCF> showpcl -a
PPAR-ID LSB PSB Status
00 Powered Off
00 00-0
  1. Execute the setpcl command to set the configuration policy for all physical partitions as a whole.
XSCF> setpcl -p ppar_id -s policy=value
  1. For value, specify fru, psb, or system as the degradation unit.
    Between psb and system, whichever is specified, the range of degradation is the same. The default setting is fru.

    The following example sets the configuration policy to "All physical partitions" for physical partition 0.
XSCF> setpcl -p 0 -s policy=system
  1. Execute the showpcl command to check the set PPAR configuration list.
XSCF> showpcl -v -a
PPAR-ID LSB PSB Status No-Mem No-IO Cfg-policy
00 Powered Off

00 00-0 False False
