Emulex Drivers for VMware ESXi User Guide
hbaport allnodeinfo list -w <wwpn> Shows the target node information for each target accessible by the adapter.
hbaport attributes -w <wwpn> Lists port attributes of an Emulex FC HBA.
hbaport bootcode -w <wwpn> -s <state> Enables or disables boot code on the adapter port.
s specifies the state of the boot code. Possible values are E and D.
– E = Enable.
– D = Disable.
hbaport disable -w <wwpn> -p <portstate> Disables the adapter port for a specified HBA port.
p specifies the port state as Disable 0.
NOTE: Ensure that all I/O on the port is stopped before disabling the port.
NOTE: A port reset may be required to activate the new setting.
hbaport dporttest start -w <wwpn> Runs a set of diagnostic tests that allows detection of physical cabling issues.
hbaport echotest start -w <initiator
wwpn>
-d <target wwpn> -c <number of cycles>
-s <stop on error flag> [-p pattern]
Runs the echo test. The hbaport echotest start command fails if the target
WWPN does not support the ECHO Extended Link Service command.
d specifies the destination WWPN. It must be ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
for a switch or the actual WWPN for a target.
c specifies the count or number of cycles (1....99999).
s specifies StopOnError: (0, 1).
– 0 = Do not stop test on error.
– 1 = Stop test on error.
p specifies a pattern with up to 8 hexadecimal characters (for example,
1a2b3c4d). This is an optional parameter. The number of cycles must be
between 1 and 99,999.
NOTE: The <target wwpn> is the WWPN of the target port and can be obtained
by running the hbaport targetmapping list command.
hbaport enable -w <wwpn> -p <portstate> Enables the adapter port for a specified HBA port.
p specifies the port state as Enable 1.
NOTE: Ensure that all I/O on the port is stopped before enabling the port.
NOTE: A port reset may be required to activate the new setting.
hbaport fctraceroute get -w <initiator
wwpn> -d <target wwpn>
Shows the FC trace route details between the adapter port and the specified target
port.
d specifies the destination WWPN. It must be ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
for a switch or the actual WWPN for a target.
