Description Displays and sets commands that apply to the physical adapter. There can be one or more PCI
functions per adapter, which are referred to as ports. Each port exposes a logical Fibre Channel
port, which typically equates to a physical Fibre Channel port.

--enable Enables the adapter.
ad_id Specifies the ID of the adapter you want to enable.
--disable Disables the adapter.
ad_id Specifies the ID of the adapter you want to disable.
--list Lists all adapters in the system. For each adapter in the system, a brief
summary line is displayed.

names are stored persistently.
serial-no | adapter-index
Specifies the serial number or the ID of the adapter for which you want to
display information.
adapter-name Specifies the adapter name. The name can include up to 15 characters, must
begin with a letter, can consist of letters, digits, hyphens, and underscore
