Emulex LP1150-F4 user manual CLI Mode emlxdrv

The display comprises three parts: the current driver configuration table, a list of available commands and the emlxdrv prompt.

The driver configuration table contains the following columns of data:

•Driver. Indicates which driver (emlxs, lpfc or "-" if none) is currently configured to bind or attach to a specific adapter alias.

•Alias. Indicates the specific adapter alias associated with a set of Emulex HBA models. Driver bindings can be made only with a specific adapter alias and not with a specific adapter model.

•Present. Indicates whether this specific type of adapter is currently present in the host system. Emlxdrv allows you to bind a driver to adapters that are not currently present in the system but that may be present in the future.

•Boot. Indicates whether this specific type of HBA currently provides connectivity to the system's boot disk. This is important because the emlxdrv utility does not allow you to change the driver binding to an HBA currently providing connectivity to the boot disk. If the driver binding must be changed to the system boot disk, the system must first be configured to boot through another type of HBA. The procedure to change to another type of HBA that will provide connectivity to the system’s boot disk is not in the scope of this document, but is included in the FC Boot User Manual (the FC Boot User Manual for your HBA is available in the support pages of the Emulex Web site).

•Sun. Indicates whether this specific type of adapter is branded and sold directly by Sun Microsystems.

•Models. Provides a list of Emulex HBA models that are identified by a common adapter alias. Driver bindings can be made only with a specific adapter alias and not with a specific adapter model.

After the driver configuration table is a list of available commands. For a detailed explanation of each command and its arguments, see Command Descriptions (emlxdrv) on page 126.

Below the command list is an emlxdrv> prompt. From this point, the utility is prompt driven. When the prompt is displayed, you must enter one of the commands in the list. The current driver configuration table and the available command list are displayed automatically after each command is issued.

Some commands require an additional <alias> argument. You must specify one of the valid adapter aliases listed in the current driver configuration table. Each alias is shared by multiple adapter models. Driver bindings can be made only with an adapter alias and not with a specific adapter model.

To exit the program, enter q.

CLI Mode (emlxdrv)

The emlxdrv utility program can be run in CLI mode by typing the name of the program followed by a valid command and any required command arguments. For example, you can update the a device binding by entering all the information on one line at the operating system prompt:

# emlxdrv set_emlxs f980

Updating f980 ...

Done.
