GetPCIeSwitchInfo

Gets and reads the PCIe Switch information from the managed system, and parses PCIe Switch information from a firmware image file.

Syntax

Single System

OOB

saa -i <IP or host name> -u <username> -p <password> -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo

In-Band

saa -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo [--file <filename> [--file_only]]

Multiple Systems

OOB

saa -l <system list file> [-u <username> -p <password>] -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo

Options

  • --file <file name> (Optional): Reads the PCIe Switch information from an input PCIe Switch image file.
  • --showall (Optional): Shows additional information about the PCIe Switch device.
  • --file_only (Optional): Works with the --file option, and only reads PCIe Switch information from the input image file.

Examples

In-Band

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo --file fw_file.img --file_only

OOB

[SAA_HOME]# ./saa -i 192.168.34.56 -u ADMIN -p PASSWORD -c GetPCIeSwitchInfo
