Description
Command Line Argument
This argument specifies the hardware discovery file used to run the query.

PCI device list file, which is used to convert
PCI IDs found in hardware discovery into device names, such as "Smart Array 6402
Controller."

Examples
•
To produce an
hwdisc.xml
file that contains
<RAM>768</RAM>
, use the following input
at the command line:
hwquery hwdisc.xml allboards.xml MY_SYS_RAM=RAM
The
hwquery
utility produces
MY_SYS_RAM=768
.
•
To produce an
hwdisc.xml
file that indicates a Smart Array 6402 Controller is present, use
the following input at the command line:
hwquery hwdisc.xml allboards.xml "TEST=Smart Array 6402"
The
hwquery
utility produces
TEST=Smart Array 6402 Controller
.
•
The
hwquery
utility is case-sensitive.
hwquery hwdisc.xml allboards.xml "TEST=smart array 6402"
This command produces
TEST=
. This behavior is correct even if counter-intuitive. The string
is case-sensitive and the argument uses lowercase instead of the title case in the
allboards.xml
file.
•
To produce an
hwdisc.xml
file that contains
<RAM>768</RAM>
and
<EFIFw>1.10</
EFIFw>
, use the following input at the command line:
hwquery hwdisc.xml allboards.xml MYRAM=RAM MYEFIFW=EFIFw
