fruconfig(8) - Linux man page

Name

fruconfig - show Field Replacable Unit configuration data

Synopsis

fruconfig [-abmsx -N node -U user -P/-R pswd -ETVF]

Description

fruconfig is a program that uses IPMI commands to show FRU configuration data and optionally write an asset tag string into the FRU data. Setting the asset tag is a function that can be used to uniquely identify the unit, even if the storage devices are removed or changed. This utility can use either the /dev/ipmi0 driver from OpenIPMI, the /dev/imb driver from Intel, the /dev/ipmikcs driver from valinux, direct user-space IOs, or the IPMI LAN interface if -N.
