NVRAM(8) Linux on Power Service Tools NVRAM(8)NAMEnvram - format data stored in non-volatile RAM
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/nvram [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
Nvram is used to print and modify data stored in the non-volatile RAM
(NVRAM) on a PowerPC-64 system. NVRAM on these systems is partitioned
into data sections that each have their own format. The print options
to this command selects what to print and how to format it.
The nvram utility can also be used to update the data in certain NVRAM
partitions of PowerPC-64 systems. Nvram can update the value of a
name/value pair for NVRAM partitions formatted as a set of name=value
pairs. On many systems, the following NVRAM partitions contain data
formatted as name=value pairs: common, of-config, and ibm,setupcfg.
OPTIONS
--print-config[=var]
print value of a config variable, or print all variables in the
specified (or all) partitions.
--update-config name=value
update the config variable in the specified partition; the -p
option must also be specified..
-p partition
specify a partition; required with the --update-config option,
optional with the --print-config option.
--print-vpd
print vital product data (VPD) collected by the system in NVRAM.
This data may also be viewed with the lscfg(1) command directly
from the devices.
--print-all-vpd
print viral product data (VPD) collected by the system in NVRAM
including vendor specific data.
--print-err-log
print the checkstop error log generated by the service processor
whenever the system checkstops.
--print-event-scan
print the event scan log stored in NVRAM.
--partitions
print the contents of all the NVRAM partition headers.
--nvram-file path
read nvram data from a given file rather than /dev/nvram. To
capture NVRAM for later use, simply copy /dev/nvram into a file.
--verbose (-v)
be more verbose.
--help print usage information including other low level options useful
for debugging nvram.
