scale command

This command displays the partition control and configuration settings for multiple compute nodes or nodes in a scalable complex, for compute nodes installed in the Lenovo Flex System chassis that support this feature.

Note

The scale command will execute only on compute nodes that support scalable complexes.
All compute nodes in a scalable complex must be at the same firmware level. When scripting firmware updates for compute nodes in a scalable complex, make sure that the update commands are included for each node in the complex.

If command syntax is not correctly entered, or if a command fails to run, an error message is returned. See Common errors for a list of error messages that apply to all commands or scale command errors for a list of error messages that are specific to the scale command.

Table 1. scale command.
The command table is a multi-row, four-column table where each row describes a CMM CLI command option: column one lists command function, column two provides a detailed command description, column three shows command-option syntax, and column four lists valid command targets.
Function	What it does	Command	Target (see paths in Command targets)
Display all scalable complex information	Displays all scalable complex information for the Lenovo Flex System chassis.	`scale`	Lenovo Flex System chassis: system
Display information for specific scalable complex	Displays information for the specified scalable complex. Note The complex_id is found by running the scale command with no options. The -compid command option is required for only compute node systems that can have multiple scalable complexes defined in the same Lenovo Flex System chassis. This option does not need to be specified for stand-alone systems.	`scale -compid` complex_id where complex_id is a unique complex identifier (hexadecimal string of four alphanumeric characters), assigned by the compute node complex.	Lenovo Flex System chassis: system
Display information for specific node in a scalable complex	Displays information for a specific node in the scalable complex. Note The complex_id and node_id are found by running the scale command with no options. The -compid command option is required for only compute node systems that can have multiple scalable complexes defined in the same Lenovo Flex System chassis. This option does not need to be specified for stand-alone systems.	`scale -compid` complex_id `-node` node_id where : complex_id is a unique complex identifier (hexadecimal string of four alphanumeric characters), assigned by the compute node complex. node_id is the compute node bay number, of the node.	Lenovo Flex System chassis: system
Display information for specific partition in a scalable complex	Displays information for a specific partition in the scalable complex. Note The complex_id and partition_id are found by running the scale command with no options. The -compid command option is required for only compute node systems that can have multiple scalable complexes defined in the same Lenovo Flex System chassis. This option does not need to be specified for stand-alone systems.	`scale -compid` complex_id `-partid` partition_id where : complex_id is a unique complex identifier (hexadecimal string of four alphanumeric characters), assigned by the compute node complex. partition_id is a partition identifier, assigned by the compute node complex.	Lenovo Flex System chassis: system

Example: To view all scalable complexes in the system, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

scale

To view information about the scalable complex with an ID of D787, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

scale -compid D787

To view information about the partition with an ID of 1 in the scalable complex with an ID of D787, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

scale -compid D787 -partid 1

To view information about the compute node with an ID of 7 in the scalable complex with an ID of D787, while the Lenovo Flex System chassis is set as the persistent command environment, at the system> prompt, type

scale -compid D787 -node 7

The following example shows the information that is returned from these commands:
