IPMCTL-DUMP-GOAL(1) ipmctl IPMCTL-DUMP-GOAL(1)

NAME

ipmctl-dump-goal - Stores the current configured memory allocation settings to a file

SYNOPSIS

ipmctl dump [OPTIONS] -destination (path) -system -config

DESCRIPTION

Store the currently configured memory allocation settings for all PMem modules in the system to a file in order to replicate the configuration elsewhere. Apply the stored memory allocation settings using the command Section [Load Memory Allocation Goal].

OPTIONS

-h, -help

Displays help for the command.

-ddrt

Used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.

-smbus

Used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.


Note

The -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together.

-lpmb

Used to specify large transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl.

-spmb

Used to specify small transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl.


Note

The -lpmb and -spmb options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together.

-o (text|nvmxml), -output (text|nvmxml)

Changes the output format. One of: "text" (default) or "nvmxml".

EXAMPLES

Stores the memory allocation settings from all the PMem modules into the file "config.txt".

ipmctl dump -destination config.txt -system -config

LIMITATIONS

In order to successfully execute this command:

•The caller must have the appropriate privileges.

•Only memory allocation settings for manageable PMem modules that have been successfully applied by the BIOS are stored in the file. Unconfigured PMem modules are not included, nor are memory allocation goals that have not been applied.

RETURN DATA

The CLI will indicate the overall status of the operation when complete. If a failure occurs when dumping the memory allocation from multiple PMem modules, the process will stop and the output file will be removed.

The output file is formatted as an ASCII file with one row per PMem module containing the following comma separated values.

SocketID

Identifier for the socket the PMem module is associated with.

DimmHandle

PMem module device handle.

Capacity

Total capacity of the PMem module in GiB.

MemorySize

Capacity of the PMem module allocated as Memory Mode in GiB.

AppDirect1Size

Capacity of the PMem module allocated for the first App Direct interleave set in GiB.

AppDirect1Format

Bit mask representing the interleave format of the first App Direct interleave set.

AppDirect1Index

Unique index of the first App Direct interleave set.

AppDirect2Size

Capacity of the PMem module allocated for the second App Direct interleave set in GiB.

AppDirect2Format

Bit mask representing the interleave format of the second App Direct interleave set.

AppDirect2Index

Unique index of the second App Direct interleave set.
