=head1 NAME

B<rscan> - Collects node information from one or more hardware control points.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

I<rscan [-h|--help]>

I<rscan [-v|--version]>

I<rscan [-V|--verbose] noderange [-u][-w][-x|-z]>


=head1 DESCRIPTION

The rscan command lists hardware information for each node managed by the hardware control points specified in noderange.

Note: except running this command with flag -u, the first line of the output always contains information about the hardware control point itself. When using the rscan command to generate output for HMC or IVM hardware control points, note that FSPs and BPAs are included in the output.



=head1 OPTIONS



B<-h>          Display usage message.

B<-v>          Command Version.

B<-V>          Verbose output.

B<-u>          Update node definition in xCAT database and print out updated nodes. It updates the existing nodes that have the same mtms and serial as the nodes managed by specified hardware control point. For a CEC and frame node, if the node name is not as same as the managed system name on hardware control point, this flag will update the node name to managed system name. In this release, it can only update CEC and Frame node definitions. 

B<-w>          Writes output to xCAT database.

B<-x>          XML format.

B<-z>          Stanza formated output.


=head1 RETURN VALUE

  0 The command completed successfully.

  1 An error has occurred.
