Filtering Records From the SDR File
The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. These
records might need to be filtered based on the current product
configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of the SDRs.
Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it
updates the SDR repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the
SDR repository area. The utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the
product configuration set in the configuration file. Nontagged SDRs are
automatically programmed. The utility also copies all written SDRs to the
SDR.TMP file; it contains an image of what was loaded. The TMP file is
also useful for debugging the server.
Updating the FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area
After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU
nonvolatile storage area. First it verifies the common header area and
checksum from the specified FRU file. The internal use area is read out of
the specified.FRU file and is programmed into the nonvolatile storage. The
chassis area is read out of the specified.FRU file. Finally, it reads the
product area out of the specified FRU file, then the area is programmed into
the FRU nonvolatile storage. All areas are also written to the FRU.TMP
file.
Updating the DMI FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area
After programming the BMC FRU area, the utility programs chassis, board,
and product FRU information to the DMI fields, if the DMI flag follows
each FRUAREA command in the configuration file.
Cleaning Up and Exiting
If an update was successfully performed, the utility displays a single
message and then exits.
If the utility fails, it immediately exits with an error message and exit code.
