ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -system -capabilities

Shows the capabilities of the current platform as determined by platform firmware (BIOS) and this application.

-a,  -all

Shows all attributes.
Note

The all and display options are exclusive and may not be used together.

-d (attributes), -display (attributes)

Filters the returned attributes by explicitly specifying a comma separated list of any of the attributes defined in the Return Data section.
Note

The all and display options are exclusive and may not be used together.

-h,  -help

Displays help for the command.

-ddrt

Used to specify DDRT as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.

-smbus

Used to specify SMBUS as the desired transport protocol for the current invocation of ipmctl.
Note

The -ddrt and -smbus options are mutually exclusive and may not be used together.

-o (text|nvmxml), -output (text|nvmxml)

Changes the output format. One of: "text" (default) or "nvmxml".

-u (B|MB|MiB|GB|GiB|TB| TiB), -units (B|MB|MiB|GB|GiB|TB| TiB)

Changes the units that capacities are displayed in for this command. One of: bytes (B), megabytes (MB), mebibytes (MiB), gigabytes (GB), gibibytes (GiB), terabytes (TB) or tebibytes (TiB).

Displays the supported PMem module capabilities

ipmctl show -system -capabilities

The default behavior is to return the default attributes listed below; the options can be used to expand or restrict the output.

PlatformConfigSupported

(Default) Whether the platform level configuration of PMem modules can be modified with the host software. One of:

• 0: Changes must be made in the BIOS.
• 1: The command [Create Memory Allocation Goal] is supported.

Alignment

(Default) Capacity alignment requirement for all memory types as reported by the BIOS.

AllowedVolatileMode

(Default) The volatile mode allowed as determined by BIOS setup. One of:

• 1LM: One-level volatile mode. All configured PMem module resources on the platform assigned for memory usage are not in use.
• 2LM: Two-level volatile mode/Memory Mode. PMem module resources configured as memory act as system memory. Any DDR on the platform will act as a cache working in conjunction with the PMem modules.
• Unknown: The allowed volatile mode cannot be determined.

CurrentVolatileMode

(Default) The current volatile mode. One of:

• 1LM: One-level volatile mode. All configured PMem module resources on the platform assigned for memory usage are not in use.
• 2LM: Two-level volatile mode/Memory Mode. PMem module resources configured as memory act as system memory. Any DDR on the platform will act as a cache working in conjunction with the PMem modules.
• Unknown: The current volatile mode cannot be determined.

AllowedAppDirectMode

(Default) The App Direct mode allowed as determined by BIOS setup. One of:

• Disabled: App Direct support is currently disabled by the BIOS.
• App Direct: App Direct support is currently enabled by the BIOS.
• Unknown: The current App Direct support cannot be determined.

ModesSupported

A list of PMem module modes supported by the BIOS. Refer to the command [Show Dimm] to determine the modes supported by the individual PMem modules. At least one of:

• 1LM: One-level volatile mode. All configured PMem module resources on the platform assigned for memory usage are not in use.
• 2LM: Two-level volatile mode/Memory Mode. PMem module resources configured as memory act as system memory. Any DDR on the platform will act as a cache working in conjunction with the PMem modules.
• App Direct: PMem module resources are under direct load/store control of the application. DDR is unaffected.
• Unknown: The current mode cannot be determined.

SupportedAppDirectSettings

The BIOS supported list of App Direct interleave settings in the format:

• x[Way] - [(IMCSize) iMC x (ChannelSize) Channel] followed by the input format for the command [Set Preferences]: (ByOne|(IMCSize)_(ChannelSize)).

RecommendedAppDirectSettings

The BIOS recommended list of App Direct interleave settings in the format:

• x[Way] - [(IMCSize) iMC x (ChannelSize) Channel] followed by the input format for the command [Set Preferences]: (ByOne|(IMCSize)_(ChannelSize)).

MinNamespaceSize

The minimum allowed namespace size as reported by the driver.

AppDirectMirrorSupported

If the BIOS supports App Direct mirroring. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

DimmSpareSupported

If the BIOS supports PMem module sparing. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

AppDirectMigrationSupported

If the BIOS supports App Direct migration. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

RenameNamespaceSupported

If the host software supports renaming a namespace. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

GrowAppDirectNamespaceSupported

If the host software supports increasing the capacity of an App Direct namespace. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

ShrinkAppDirectNamespaceSupported

If the host software supports decreasing the capacity of an App Direct namespace. One of:

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

InitiateScrubSupported

• 0: Not supported
• 1: Supported

AdrSupported
