displaysd command

This command captures and displays service information.

Service information for the management modules includes BladeCenter VPD, the management-module event log, connection status, and self-test results. If multiple user interface sessions issue the displaysd command, the commands will be processed in the order that they are received. Some types of service information are displayed for only the primary management module.

Table 1. displaysd command
Function	What it does	Command	Valid targets
Capture and display service information	Capture and display service information on page from the primary or standby management module.	`displaysd`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary or standby management-module bay number.
Display management module connection and self-test status	Displays connection status and latest self-test results for the primary management module.	`displaysd -mmstat`	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Save service information to TFTP server	Saves service information from primary management module with the specified filename to the specified TFTP server. Note: The -save and -i command options must be run together.	`displaysd -save` filename `-i` ipaddress where: filename is the location where service information will be saved. The filename should use a .tgz extension to allow support personnel to identify the file. ip_address is the IPv4 or IPv6 IP address of the TFTP server.	`-T system:mm[x]` where x is the primary management-module bay number.
Display all blade server SRC records	Displays a list of the most recent (up to 32) SRCs for the specified blade server. Note: SRC information is available for only those blade servers that support this feature.	`displaysd -src list`	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade serverbay number.
Display specific blade server SRC record	Displays a specific SRC, based on the specified record number, for the specified blade server. Note: SRC information is available for only those blade servers that support this feature.	`displaysd -src` index where index is the SRC record number to display, between 1 and 32.	`-T system:blade[x]` where x is the blade serverbay number.

Example: To capture and display service information from the management module in bay 1, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

                  displaysd -T system:mm[1]

To capture service information from the management module in bay 1 and save it to a file named sdc.tgz on a TFTP server with a IP address of 9.67.22.176, while the chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

                  displaysd -T system:mm[1] -save sdc.tgz -i 9.67.22.176

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

               system> displaysd -T system:mm[1]

system> displaysd -T system:mm[1] -save sdc.tgz -i 9.67.22.176

system>

Note: If a large amount of service information is available, display could exceed the capacity of your command-prompt window, resulting in loss of information displayed at the start of the data set. If this happens, you will need to clear the management-module event log to reduce the amount of information being captured.
