fcauth Daemon Parameters
The fcauth daemon supports the following parameters:
• start - To start the fcauthd daemon pass the start command to the fcauthd script. This command
loads the daemon into memory, opens a netlink for the driver to connect to, and reads the
authentication configuration database into memory for use by the LPFC driver.
• stop - To stop the fcauthd daemon pass the stop command to the fcauthd script. This command
takes down the netlink between the fcauthd and the lpfc driver, and stop the fcauthd daemon.
• reload - The reload command reloads the authentication configuration database into memory.
This is done whenever the database is changed by another application (HBAnyware) or by the
user. If the database is changed the new configuration information is not used until the fcauthd
daemon reloads the database.
• status - This command is used to display the current status of the fcauthd. The status should be
either running or stopped.
• restart - The restart command performs a stop and then a start.
• condrestart - The conditional restart command checks the status of the fcauthd daemon. If it is
running it issues a stop and then a start command. If the fcauthd daemon is not running nothing
happens.
Setting Remote and Local Passwords
You can configure each port’s password. See “Changing Your Password” on page42 for more
information.
The driver parameters determine some aspects of the driver behavior. The following tables list the driver
parameters. Some driver parameters can be modified and take effect only on a driver load while others
can be modified dynamically and take effect immediately. The tables also list the default, minimum and
maximum values for these parameters.
