authconfig set -w <initiator wwpn> -d
<target wwpn> -b <bi-directional>
-p <dh-priority> -s <hash-priority>
-m <mode> -r <re-authentication>
-a <re-authentication-interval>
-t <timeout>
Sets the authentication configuration parameters for a specified HBA 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.
 b specifies bidirectional. Valid values are (disabled, enabled).
 p specifies dh-priority: (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), any combinations up to five digits.
(4321 specifies a priority of 1536:1280:1024:Null).
1 = Null
2 = 1024
3 = 1280
4 = 1536
5 = 2048
 s specifies the hash-priority. Valid values are (md5, sha1).
md5 = First md5, then sha1.
sha1 = First sha1, then md5.
 m specifies the mode. Valid values are (disabled, enabled, passive).
 r specifies the re-authentication mode. Valid values are (disabled,
enabled).
 a specifies the re-authentication time interval in minutes. Valid values are (0,
10 to 3,600).
0 = Disables re-authentication.
t specifies the timeout value in seconds.
authconfig status get -w <initiator
wwpn> -d <target wwpn>
Shows the authentication configuration status details.
 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.
beacon get -w <wwpn> Shows the beacon state of an Emulex FC HBA.
beacon set -w <wwpn> -s <state> [-d
<duration>]
Sets the beacon state of an Emulex FC HBA.
 s specifies the state of the beacon. The default is 1. Valid values are:
– 1 = Beacon on (mandatory).
– 0 = Beacon off.
 d specifies the duration of beaconing. The maximum duration is 65,535
seconds. The default is 0 for infinite beaconing. This is an optional parameter.
bootparams get -w <wwpn> -t <boot type> Shows the boot parameters for a given port and given boot type.
 t specifies the boot type: (X86, EFI, OB).
