okay bestie, so this one lives in the ipmctl manual, and it's literally the page that teaches you how to ✨change your mind✨ about stuff — well, about your preferences anyway 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ipmctl-set-preferences — Modifies one or more user preferences

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ipmctl set [OPTIONS] -preferences [PROPERTIES]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It modifies one or more user preferences in the PMem module software. That's it. That's the whole vibe. You go in, you tell it what you want your defaults to be, it does the thing. slay 💖

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -h, -help — Displays help for the command. Your girl's here when you're lost 🫶
• -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. Pick a lane, bestie, you cannot have both 😭

• -o (text|nvmxml), -output (text|nvmxml) — Changes the output format. One of: "text" (default) or "nvmxml".

💜 PROPERTIES 💜

CLI_DEFAULT_DIMM_ID

The default display of PMem module identifiers. One of:

• "UID": Use the DimmUID attribute as defined in the section [Show Dimm].
• "HANDLE": Use the DimmHandle attribute as defined in section [Show Dimm]. This is the default.

CLI_DEFAULT_SIZE

The default display of capacities in the CLI. One of:

• "AUTO": Automatically choose the best format for each capacity in binary multiples of bytes (i.e., B, MiB, GiB or TiB). This is the default. 💅
• "AUTO_10": Automatically choose the best format for each capacity in decimal multiples of bytes (i.e., B, MB, GB or TB).
• "B": Displays all capacities in bytes.
• "MB": Displays all capacities in megabytes.
• "MiB": Displays all capacities in mebibytes.
• "GB": Displays all capacities in gigabytes.
• "GiB": Displays all capacities in gibibytes.
• "TB": Displays all capacities in terabytes.
• "TiB": Displays all capacities in tebibytes.

APPDIRECT_SETTINGS

The interleave settings to use when creating App Direct capacity in the format: (IMCSize_ChannelSize). Must be one of the BIOS supported App Direct settings returned by the command [Show System Capabilities].

📌 Note — ByOne is not a valid setting for this preference. The default is "RECOMMENDED" which uses the BIOS recommended App Direct settings.

🚨 Note — The same interleave settings are used for all the App Direct capacity in the system. Therefore, if any App Direct capacity already exists, this preference cannot be changed. Like, at all. Not me finding out the hard way 🙈

DBG_LOG_LEVEL

Whether debug logging is enabled in the PMem module host software. These logs pertain to the operation of the command-line tool only and do not reflect any logging functionality of the PMem module. One of:

• "0": Logging is disabled. This is the default.
• "1": Log Errors.
• "2": Log Warnings, Errors.
• "3": Log Informational, Warnings, Errors.
• "4": Log Verbose, Informational, Warnings, Errors.

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Use DimmUID as the default PMem module identifier and display all capacities in bytes.

ipmctl set -preferences CLI_DEFAULT_DIMM_ID=UID CLI_DEFAULT_SIZE=B

---

👑 RETURN DATA 👑

Returns the status of the operation. Short, sweet, iconic.

🍓 SAMPLE OUTPUT 🍓
