SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The nvram utility can also be used to update the data in certain NVRAM partitions of PowerPC-64 systems. Nvram can update the value of a name/value pair for NVRAM partitions formatted as a set of name=value pairs. On many systems, the following NVRAM partitions contain data formatted as name=value pairs: common, of-config, and ibm,setupcfg.

--update-config name=value

update the config variable in the specified partition; the -p option must also be specified..

-p partition

specify a partition; required with the --update-config option, optional with the --print-config option.

--print-vpd

print vital product data (VPD) collected by the system in NVRAM. This data may also be viewed with the lscfg(1) command directly from the devices.

--print-all-vpd

print viral product data (VPD) collected by the system in NVRAM including vendor specific data.

--print-err-log

print the checkstop error log generated by the service processor whenever the system checkstops.

--print-event-scan

print the event scan log stored in NVRAM.

--partitions

print the contents of all the NVRAM partition headers.

--nvram-file path
