config command

This command sets and displays the name of the advanced management module or blade server and the location and contact name for the advanced management module.

Table 1. config command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Display name of blade server	Displays the name of the specified blade server.	`config`	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade server bay number.
Display name of management module	Displays the following information for the command target: Name Location Contact name	`config`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Display identifying information for BladeCenter unit	Displays the following information for the command target: Universally unique identifier Serial number Type/model	`config`	`-T system`
Set name of management module or blade server	Sets the name of the primary management module or specified blade server.	`config -name` name where name is up to 15 characters in length. Blade server names cannot contain angle brackets ("<" and ">"), and advanced management module names can only contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, pound signs, underscores, and periods. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration (for management module) Blade configuration (for blade server) See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` `-T system:blade[x]` where x is the primary management-module or a blade server bay number.
Set location of management module	Sets the location of the primary advanced management module.	`config -loc` "location" where "location" is up to 47 characters in length and contained within double-quotes. Advanced management module locations can contain any character other than "<" and ">". This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set contact name for advanced management module	Sets the contact name for the primary advanced management module.	`config -contact` "contact_name" where "contact_name" is up to 47 characters in length and contained within double-quotes. Advanced management module contact names can contain any character other than "<" and ">". This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Set universally unique identifier (UUID) for BladeCenter unit	Sets the universally unique identifier for the BladeCenter unit. Notes: Change the -uuid value only if you are certain it was not programmed correctly on the hardware. To prevent disrupting the operation of IBM Systems Director, you should edit this field only if the midplane of your system has been replaced with a new midplane that does not have this information programmed on it. If you change the UUID on an existing system to a random new value, IBM Systems Director will treat this as a new system, distinct from the one identified by the old UUID. Changes to the UUID take effect after the next restart of the advanced management module.	`config -uuid` "unique_id" where "unique_id" is 32 hexadecimal digits and is contained within double-quotes. This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system`
Set type/model for BladeCenter unit	Sets the type or model designator for the BladeCenter unit. Notes: Change the -tm value only if you are certain it was not programmed correctly on the hardware. To prevent disrupting the operation of IBM Systems Director, you should edit this field only if the midplane of your system has been replaced with a new midplane that does not have this information programmed on it. Changes to the type/model take effect after the next restart of the advanced management module.	`config -tm` "type_model" where "type_model" is up to seven characters in length and contained within double-quotes. Advanced management module type / model designators can contain any character other than "<" and ">". This command can only be run by users who have the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system`
Set serial number for BladeCenter unit	Sets the serial number for the BladeCenter unit. Notes: Change the -sn value only if you are certain it was not programmed correctly on the hardware. To prevent disrupting the operation of IBM Systems Director, you should edit this field only if the midplane of your system has been replaced with a new midplane that does not have this information programmed on it. Changes to the serial number take effect after the next restart of the advanced management module.	`config -sn` "serial_number" where "serial_number" is up to seven characters in length and contained within double-quotes. Advanced management module serial numbers can contain any character other than "<" and ">". This command can only be run by users who have one or more of the following command authorities: Supervisor Chassis configuration See Commands and user authority for additional information.	`-T system`

Example:

To set the management module name to IBM_lab, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  config -name IBM_lab

To display the management module name, location, and contact name, while management module 1 is set as the persistent command environment, at the system:mm[1]> prompt, type

                  config

The following example shows the information that is returned from these two commands:

               system:mm[1]> config -name IBM_lab
OK
system:mm[1]> config
-name IBM_lab
-contact John_Doe
-loc Main_Lab
system:mm[1]>
