It is used to set up connections for FSP and BPA node to Hardware Server on management node (or service node ). It only could be done according to the node definition in xCAT DB. And this command will try to read the user/password from the ppcdirect table firstly. If fails, then read them from passwd table. Commonly , the username is HMC. If using the ppcdirect table, each FSP/BPA and user/password should be stored in ppcdirect table. If using the passwd table, the key should be "fsp" or "bpa", and the related user/password are stored in passwd table.
When --port is specified, this command will create the connections for FSPs/BPAs whose side in vpd table is equal to port value.
