NAME
ipmctl-show-system-capabilities - Shows the platform supported PMem module capabilities.
SYNOPSIS
ipmctl show [OPTIONS] -system -capabilities
DESCRIPTION
Shows the capabilities of the current platform as determined by platform firmware (BIOS) and this application.
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).

RETURN DATA
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 If the platform and host software support initiating an address range scrub on the PMem modules in the system. One of: • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported AdrSupported Whether the platform supports asynchronous DRAM refresh (ADR). One of: • 0: Not supported. If ADR is not supported, App Direct data integrity cannot be assured during system interruptions. • 1: Supported EraseDeviceDataSupported Whether Erase Device Data is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported EnableDeviceSecuritySupported Whether Enable Device Security is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported DisableDeviceSecuritySupported Whether Change Device Security property Lockstate = Disabled is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported UnlockDeviceSecuritySupported Whether Change Device Security property Lockstate = Unlocked is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported FreezeDeviceSecuritySupported Whether Change Device Security property Lockstate = Frozen is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported ChangeDevicePassphraseSupported Whether Change Device Passphrase is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported ChangeMasterPassphraseSupported Whether Change Master Passphrase is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported MasterEraseDeviceDataSupported Whether Master Erase Device Data is supported. • 0: Not supported • 1: Supported
