SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit Administrator's Guide

[path]allboards.xml Specifies the allboards.xml PCI device list file, which is used
to convert PCI IDs found in hardware discovery into device names,
such as “Smart Array 6402 Controller.”
expression Specifies the query expression.
Examples
The ifhw utility can use XML files as input to query the hardware discovery file. For example:
ifhw hwdisc.dat allboards.xml "PCI:Smart Array 6402"
• 0 (True) if the Smart Array 6402 is present
• 1 (False) if the device is not present
• 2 (Error) if the expression could not be understood
• -1 or 255 if incorrect number of parameters given
The following expressions used as shown in the Synopsis return the indicated result:
• “PCI:Smart Array 6402”
Returns True if the Smart Array 5i Controller is found in the system.
• HWQ:RAM gte 512
Returns True if the amount of RAM in the hardware discovery file is at least 512.
• HWQ:EFIFw neq “1.10”
Returns True if the EFI Firmware version in the hardware discovery file is not 1.10.
• HWQ:SystemName eq “Server rx4640”
Returns True if the system name in the hardware discovery file exactly matches Server
rx4640.
• “PCI:Smart Array 6402” or “PCI:Smart Array 6404”
Returns True if the system contains a Smart Array 6402 Controller or a Smart Array 6404

True if a PCI device whose name includes string is found in the hardware discovery file. string
is case-sensitive.
PCI:string
The hardware discovery file is searched for string, and the corresponding value is the value of this
term. string is case-sensitive.
