sn0msc - Perform Origin and Onyx2 system controller operations
As shipped in IRIX 6.5.5. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.
NAME sn0msc - Perform Origin and Onyx2 system controller operations SYNOPSIS /usr/etc/sn0msc -r [ -x ] elsc_nvram_dev addr [ count ] /usr/etc/sn0msc -w elsc_nvram_dev addr value [ count ] /usr/etc/sn0msc -c elsc_controller_dev command DESCRIPTION sn0msc performs operations on the Origin and Onyx2 Module System Controllers (MSCs). WARNING: If used improperly, this command may cause system malfunction that is not fixed by system reset or power cycling. See below for more information. There are three basic operations controlled by the flags given: -r Reads the MSC NVRAM contents of a specific MSC device (elsc_nvram_dev) at a specific address (addr) for a specific number of bytes (count, default 1). Output is in hex if the -x flag is given, decimal otherwise. -w Writes the MSC NVRAM contents of a specific MSC device (elsc_nvram_dev) at a specific address (addr) with a specific value (value) for a specific number of bytes (count, default 1). -c Executes an MSC command on a specific MSC device (elsc_controller_dev) and displays the output from the MSC. Certain commands may cause the system to function incorrectly. Commands that include white space must be quoted from the shell. The NVRAM contains 2048 bytes. A corrupted MSC NVRAM can be repaired by writing zeroes over the entire contents of the NVRAM, power-cycling the MSC from the main breaker or power plug, and setting the module number back to the correct value.
