list (system physical configuration) command

This command displays a list of devices present within the command target. It can be used to determine how many management modules are installed in the BladeCenter® unit and which management module is set as primary.

Table 1. list (system physical configuration) command
Function What it does Command Valid targets
View command target Displays the current command target. If a management-module bay is the current command target, it will be identified as primary or standby (redundant). list Any installed device.
View system configuration tree Displays the tree structure of devices present in the BladeCenter unit, starting at the command target level. If management-module bays are part of the tree, they will be identified as primary or standby (redundant). For components that have been assigned a name, this name will be displayed next to the component bay number. list -l depth
where depth is
  • all or a for full tree display, starting at the command target level
  • 1 to display the current command target
  • 2 displays the content of the current command target plus one level below it
Any installed device.
Example: To display a list of devices installed in the BladeCenter unit, while the BladeCenter unit is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type
                  list -l a
               

(This is the command syntax that can be used to determine the primary management module.)

The following example shows the information that is returned when the command is run on an advanced management module:
