SetUsbAccessMode

Dynamically controls USB port access mode (in-band only).

Syntax

sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel <front/rear> --disable
sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel <front/rear> --enable

Options

  • --panel <front/rear>: Specifies which panel's USB ports to control.
  • --disable: Disables the USB port access.
  • --enable: Enables the USB port access.

Examples

Disable Front Panel USB

[SUM_HOME]# ./sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel front --disable

Enable Front Panel USB

[SUM_HOME]# ./sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel front --enable

Disable Rear Panel USB

[SUM_HOME]# ./sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel rear --disable

Enable Rear Panel USB

[SUM_HOME]# ./sum -c SetUsbAccessMode --panel rear --enable

Notes

  • Only when "Front USB Port(s)" or "Rear USB Port(s)" is set to "Enabled (Dynamic)" in the BIOS configurations is the command "SetUsbAccessMode" allowed to dynamically enable/disable the USB port access mode.
  • For some systems, a plugged-in USB 3.0 device cannot be used after the port is dynamically disabled and enabled again. When the device cannot be used after the port is dynamically enabled, SUM will output a message "USB 3.0 device may need to be manually unplugged and plugged for use" to bring this to the user's attention. /home/jesse/git/bmcdocs/docs/supermicro/sum/setusbaccessmode.md
