Verbosity Settings
The verbosity (v) settings (v0, v1, v2, v3) correspond to the level of detail that will be displayed, with
v0 being the lowest level of detail and v3 being the highest level. The v3 setting is not supported for the
“all components” setting. The commands ~scr! or ~scri0v#! will access the lowest level of detail
(verbosity) for all components. The command ~scri#v#! will display higher levels of detail
depending on the values entered for the verbosity settings.
Note: The “all components” setting (0) will display the lowest level of detail no matter which
verbosity setting is used.
Component Settings
Detailed information for a single system component can be specified by using its identity (i) number
setting (i0 through i4 and i7) in the following table. The “all components” setting (i0) will display
the lowest level of detail no matter which verbosity setting is used.
Tip: The information in the above table is displayed when you enter ~scr! or ~scri0v1!
General Rules for Octaire Diagnostic Commands
 In a multi-enclosure system, the splash screen displays information only for the enclosure that
is connected directly to the PC
 If the verbosity setting is omitted, the verbosity level will be the lowest (v0)
 The component setting must be included; otherwise, entering any of the verbosity settings
alone will result in a display equivalent to i0v0
 If both settings are omitted during a query (~scr!), the information displayed will be at the
lowest verbosity level for all components (i0v0)
 At system boot, the information for an scri1v0! command is displayed
Using BCS to Access System Diagnostic Information
Instructions are provided for accessing the lowest level of verbosity for all components and for accessing
a specific level of verbosity for a specific component.
To access the lowest level of verbosity for all components:
1.
Enter ~scr! or ~scri0v#! (# = any verbosity setting)
To access a specific level of verbosity for a specific component:
2.
Enter ~scri#v# where the first # is the component (identity) setting and the second # is the
verbosity setting (either may be specified first).
All combinations are valid except for v3i0, which is not supported.
3. Enter ! (to send the command).
Example: ~scrv3i7! or ~scri7v3! (displays the highest level of detail for the system sensors).
