This topic provides an overview of the adapter diagnostics vpdlog
command.
The
vpdlog command lists all vital product
data that can be collected for the adapter cards in the engine. For each
adapter, the
vpdlog command displays information such as:
- Name
- Model number
- Size or capacity of the device
- IBM® serial
number
- IBM field-replaceable
unit (FRU) number
- IBM part
number
- Engineering change level
- Firmware code levels (1 to 3)
- Network address (MAC address or World Wide Name, as appropriate)
By default, the vpdlog command writes the log
to /tmp/vpdlog.txt. However, you can also run vpdlog stdout to
display the log on the console or vpdlog filename to
write the log to a specified file.
