ipmctl-delete-goal - Man Page

ipmctl delete [OPTIONS] -goal [TARGETS]

Deletes the memory allocation goal from one or more PMem modules. This command only deletes a memory allocation goal request that has not yet been processed by platform firmware (BIOS).

If the PMem module target is used and the specified PMem modules do not include all PMem modules that are part of a memory allocation goal request the result will be PMem modules (those not included) that have a broken request which will be rejected by platform firmware (BIOS) upon the next reboot.

-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.

-lpmb

Used to specify large transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl.

-spmb

Used to specify small transport payload size for the current invocation of ipmctl.
Note

The -lpmb and -spmb 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".

-dimm [DimmIDs]

Deletes the memory allocation goal from specific PMem modules by optionally supplying one or more comma separated PMem module identifiers. The default is to delete the memory allocation goals from all manageable PMem modules.

-socket [SocketIDs]

Deletes the memory allocation goal from the PMem modules on specific sockets by supplying the socket target and one or more comma separated socket identifiers. The default is to delete the memory allocation goals from manageable PMem modules on all sockets.

Deletes the memory allocation goal from all PMem modules on all sockets.

ipmctl delete -goal

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 and unlocked if security is enabled.
• Given socket and all specified PMem modules must contain a memory allocation goal.

For each PMem module, the CLI will indicate the status of the operation. If a failure occurs when deleting the memory allocation goals from multiple PMem modules, the process will output a failure message for those PMem modules that failed and a success message for those that succeeded.
