Board locate: pciscan

Name

pciscan

Purpose

Determines the PCI bus and slot assignments for NMS PCI and CompactPCI boards installed in the system.

Usage

pciscan [ options ]

If you invoke pciscan without any command line options, it returns the locations of all NMS PCI and CompactPCI boards in the system.

If you invoke pciscan with command line arguments, the specified board flashes an LED.

The following table lists the valid command line options:

Option

Description

pci_bus pci_slot

Specifies the PCI bus and slot location of the board on which to flash an LED.

-h, -?

Displays the Help screen and terminates.

-a

Returns the locations for all PCI devices in the system, including NMS PCI boards.

-i

Displays additional information (CG boards only).

-l

Logs output to a file named pci_cfg.txt.

-r

Displays five PCI memory addresses.

-v

Displays register values for NMS boards.


Description

pciscan displays the PCI bus and PCI slot number for all NMS CompactPCI boards installed in the system.

To run this utility on a remote host, the utility must be physically resident on the remote host. Use a separate third-party utility such as telnet, rsh, or rexec to invoke the utility.

If you have a chassis with an unusual PCI bus topology (for example, bus number 171 directly follows bus number 0), pciscan functions more slowly. To speed up operation, create a text file specifying PCI bus numbers to search. Refer to Specifying PCI bus numbers for board search functions for more information.

On Windows systems, you can use pciscan to show the physical slot location of a specific board by flashing an LED on the board.

Note: On UNIX systems, use cg6ktool to flash a board LED on a specific CG board (as described in the CG board documentation), or blocate to flash a board LED on a specific AG board. Refer to AG board locate: blocate for more information.

Procedure

To run pciscan, enter:

pciscan

pciscan displays output similar to the following:

Bus Slot  NMS ID
--- ----  ------
  2   11   0x50d  AG_4040C_E1
  2   13  0x6000  CG_6000C_QUAD
--- ----  -- ----------------
There were 2 NMS PCI board(s) detected 

If the -l option is specified, the board configuration is also logged to an ASCII text file with the current date and time. The log is created in a file named pci_cfg.txt, in the current working directory.

To flash an LED on a specific board under Windows, run pciscan with the PCI bus and PCI slot locations. For example:

pciscan 0 14

An LED on the board flashes.

If the -i option is specified, extra information is reported for CG boards only. This information includes:

This information is reported as follows:

--- ----  ------ --- ------ ---- --- ----- ---

--- ----  -- ----------------
There were 3 NMS PCI board(s) detected 

If the -i option is specified and a specific PCI bus and slot are specified, detailed information is reported for the board at the specified location, as follows:

pciscan 2 10 -i
