# ipmctl-modify-device(1)

Changes the configurable setting(s) on one or more DCPMMs

## NAME

ipmctl-modify-device - Changes the configurable setting(s) on one or more DCPMMs

## SYNOPSIS

```
ipmctl set [OPTIONS] -dimm (DimmIDs) AveragePowerReportingTimeConstant=(100-12000)
```

## DESCRIPTION

Changes the configurable setting(s) on one or more DCPMMs.

## OPTIONS

- \-f, -force

  Changing DCPMM setting(s) is a potentially destructive operation which requires confirmation from the user for each DCPMM. This option suppresses the confirmation.

- \-h, -help

  Displays help for the command.

- \-o (text\|nvmxml), -output (text\|nvmxml)

  Changes the output format. One of: "text" (default) or "nvmxml".

## TARGETS

\-dimm (DimmIDs)

Modifies specific DCPMMs by supplying one or more comma-separated DCPMM identifiers. However, this is not recommended as it may put the system in an undesirable state. The default is to modify all manageable DCPMMs.

## PROPERTIES

AveragePowerReportingTimeConstantMultiplier

The value that is used to multiply the base time value used for average power consumption measurements. Can be set to a value between 0 and 32. The default value is 0.

AveragePowerReportingTimeConstant

The value, in milliseconds, used to determine the time constant for reporting the average power consumption measurements. Can be set to a value between 100 and 12000, by increments of 100. The default value is 1000.

## EXAMPLES

Sets average power reporting time constant multiplier to 1 on all manageable DCPMMs

```
set -dimm AveragePowerReportingTimeConstant=1500
```

## LIMITATIONS

In order to successfully execute this command:

• The caller must have the appropriate privileges.

• The specified DCPMM(s) must be manageable by the host software.

## RETURN DATA

For each DCPMM, the CLI will indicate the status of the operation. If a failure occurs when modifying multiple DCPMMs, the process will exit and not continue modifying the remaining DCPMMs.

## SAMPLE OUTPUT

```
Modify DIMM (DimmID): Success
Modify DIMM (DimmID): Error (Code)-(Description)
```
