FRU Update Configuration File
The HEADER area is not selectable for writing; it is listed as an option to allow future use for
comparisons. The internal use area is unique in that it has no fields, and can only be modified as a
whole. When the ‘FRUAREA INTERNALUSE’ command is used, the internal use area in the
FRU file targeted by the FRUNAME command is written over the internal area of the FRU in the
system. Because the utility requires that the headers between the two FRUs be identical, we can be
assured that the internal use areas are the same, and we need not do anything special to support
different sizes of the areas.
Example:
FRUNAME SYSTEM
FRUADDRESS chassis
FRUAREA PRODUCT

FRUAREA BOARD

27.8.4 MULTIREC
The MULTIREC area is the only area selector that requires parameters to be passed to it. The
parameters select which multi record to manipulate and how to do so. Source records can replace,
insert before, and append after the selected destination record. You can also delete a destination
record from the FRU. The source record is the data to be used after the update takes place (from the
FRU designated by the FRUNAME command); the destination record is the currently existing data
in the system. The formats for the parameters to the command are in the following table.
