IPMCTL-SHOW-PCD(1)

💖 IPMCTL-SHOW-PCD 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the ipmctl manual — section 1, the user commands zone ✨ — and it's literally all about the ipmctl-show-pcd command. yes the name is a mouthful. no we are not renaming it. it shows the platform configuration data for one or more PMem modules 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ipmctl-show-pcd — shows the platform configuration data for one or more PMem modules 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -pcd [TARGETS]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no cap.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Shows the platform configuration data for one or more PMem modules. literally that's the whole job and she does it iconically 💖

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, -help — Displays help for the command. when you're lost, she's got you 🫶
• -ddrt — Used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl. it's giving "this time only" energy, not a forever setting 👑
• -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 one bestie, you literally cannot have both, it's not that kind of party 😭

• -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. same rule, different flags. choose wisely 💀

---

🌈 TARGETS 🌈

• -dimm [DimmIDs] — Restricts output to the platform configuration data on specific PMem modules by supplying one or more comma separated PMem module identifiers. The default is to display the platform configuration data for all manageable PMem modules. so if you don't name names, she's showing you everybody ✨
• -pcd [Config|LSA] — Restricts output to a specific partition of the platform configuration data. The default is to display both. One of:
  • Config - Configuration management information
  • LSA - Namespace label storage area

---

💜 EXAMPLES 💜

Shows the configuration information from the platform configuration data for all manageable PMem modules.

ipmctl show -dimm -pcd

Shows the configuration information from the platform configuration data for PMem module 0x1.

ipmctl show -dimm -pcd Config

see how easy that was?? ate. 🔥

---

🙈 LIMITATIONS 🙈

The specified PMem modules must be manageable by the host software. no manageability, no data, that's the deal fr fr 😭

---

⭐ RETURN DATA ⭐

Returns the formatted data from the requested platform configuration data for the specified PMem modules for debugging and troubleshooting purposes. it's lowkey a debug/troubleshoot girly — she's here to help you figure out what's going on 🧚

okay and for the cute sign-off: this whole thing is from ipmctl, dated 2024-04-22 — that's the version and the date, bestie, and that's a wrap 🎀💖 periodt.
