Use the chvpd command to set vital product data (VPD) such as serial
number and machine type.
Syntax
satask chvpd [ -serialserial_number ] [ -type machine_type_model ] [ { -wwnn1wwnn1 } ] [ { -wwnn2 wwnn2 } ] [ -resetclusterid ] [ panel_name ]
Parameters
- -serialserial_number
- (Optional) Specifies the serial number for system board or enclosure.
- -typemachine_type_model
- (Optional) Specifies the machine model type.
- -wwnn1wwnn1
- (Optional) Specifies the WWNN of canister 1.
Note: wwnn1 will no longer work on node 2, when the
panel_name is not present.
- -wwnn2wwnn2
- (Optional) Specifies the WWNN of canister 2.
Note: wwnn2 will no longer work with node 1, when the
panel_name is not present.
- -resetclusterid
- (Optional) Resets the system ID to 0.
Note: - resetclusterid will only work on the current node it is on or the
one specified by panel_name.
- The resetclusterid flag will no longer warm start the partner
node.
- The partner cluster ID is ignored when clustering.
- panel_name
- (Optional) Identifies the node that is used.
Description
The command sets vital product
data (VPD), including the serial number, WWPN, machine type, and system ID.
Remember: When you specify
chvpd, one or more nodes might experience a reset or a restart. For example,
these parameters might cause a restart:
- -fcportmap resets a node or
one node canister
- -idfile resets a node
- -serial restarts both nodes or node canisters
- -type restarts both nodes or node canisters
- -wwnn resets a node or one node canister
