NAME

       ipmctl-show-goal - Shows the memory allocation goal on one or more PMem modules

SYNOPSIS

           ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -goal [TARGETS] [PROPERTIES]

DESCRIPTION

       Shows the memory allocation goal on one or more PMem modules. Once the goal is
       successfully applied by the platform firmware (BIOS), it is no longer displayed. Use the
       command [Show Memory Resources] to view the system-wide memory resources or the command
       [Show Persistent Memory] for detailed persistent memory information.

OPTIONS

       -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).

TARGETS

       -dimm [DimmIDs]
           Restricts output to specific PMem modules by supplying one or more comma separated
           PMem module identifiers. The default is to display all manageable PMem modules with
           memory allocation goals.

       -socket [SocketIDs]
           Restricts output to the PMem modules on specific sockets by supplying the socket
           target and one or more comma separated socket identifiers. The default is to display
           all manageable PMem modules on all sockets with memory allocation goals.

EXAMPLES

       Shows the default memory allocation goal attributes for each PMem module.

           ipmctl show -goal

       Shows all the memory allocation goal attributes for the PMem modules on socket 1.

           ipmctl show -a -goal -socket 1

LIMITATIONS

       In order to successfully execute this command:

       •   The caller must have the appropriate privileges.

       •   The specified PMem modules must be manageable by the host software.

RETURN DATA

       The default behavior is to display a table with the default attributes for each PMem
       module; applying options changes the output to a more detailed format.

       SocketID
           (Default) The processor socket identifier where the PMem module is installed.

       DimmID
           (Default) The PMem module identifier

       MemorySize
           (Default) The PMem module capacity that will be configured in Memory Mode.

       AppDirect1Size
           (Default) The PMem module capacity that will be configured as the first App Direct
           interleave set if applicable.

       AppDirect1Index
           Unique identifier of the first App Direct interleave set.

           •   N/A: If no App Direct interleave set

           •   Numeric value if App Direct interleave set is present.

       AppDirect1Settings
           The settings for the first App Direct interleave set in the format: x(Way) [- (Size)
           iMC] [x (Size) Channel]

       AppDirect2Size
           (Default) The PMem module capacity that will be configured as the second App Direct
           interleave set if applicable.

       AppDirect2Index
           Unique identifier of the second App Direct interleave set.

           •   N/A: If no App Direct interleave set

           •   Numeric value if App Direct interleave set is present.

       AppDirect2Settings
           The settings for the second App Direct interleave set in the format: x(Way) [- (Size)
           iMC] [x (Size) Channel]

       Status
           The status of the memory allocation goal. One of:

           •   Unknown: The status cannot be determined.

           •   New: A reboot is required for the memory allocation goal to be processed by the
               BIOS.

           •   Failed - Bad request: The BIOS failed to process the memory allocation goal
               because it was invalid.

           •   Failed - Not enough resources: There were not enough resources for the BIOS to
               process the memory allocation goal.

           •   Failed - Firmware error: The BIOS failed to process the memory allocation goal due
               to a firmware error.

           •   Failed - Unknown: The BIOS failed to process the memory allocation goal due to an
               unknown error.

SAMPLE OUTPUT

       If a new memory allocation goal has been created, a prompt to reboot will be presented.

           A reboot is required to process new memory allocation goals.
