4 Connecting a Host with Fibre Channel/FCoE
This chapter describes the tasks necessary for connecting the host Fibre Channel or Fibre Channel
over Ethernet (FCoE).
Installing the Emulex HBA/CNA
Install the Emulex host bus adapter(s) (HBAs) or CNAs in the host according to the documentation
provided with the HBAs/CNAs and host.
Emulex OneCommand Command Line Interface
1. Determine an Emulex driver that was already installed by the Citrix installation by issuing the
following command:
# cat /sys/module/lpfc/version
If no Emulex driver was installed, see the HP SPOCK website for supported drivers:
HP SPOCK
Download the driver from one of the following websites and install it:
Citrix
Emulex
2. The Emulex FC/FCoE utility hbacmd is installed during the Citrix installation.

Modifying the nodev-tmo Parameter to a Value of 1
NOTE: For Citrix 5.6 or 6.x, it is not required to change the Emulex driver parameter nodev-tmo
to a value of 1.
This section describes how to modify the nodev-tmo parameter using hbacmd. See Emulex
documentation for usage of hbacmd, available at the following website.
Emulex
The tool is at /usr/sbin/ocmanager/hbacmd with default installation.
Use the following procedure to obtain the available command usage and syntax as well as set
nodev-tmo parameter:
1. To display usage, issue ./hbacmd.
2. To list installed HBA's Port WWN, issue the following command:
./hbacmd ListHBAs
3. To invoke the syntax for the SetDriverParam command, issue the following command:
# ./hbacmd Help DriverParams
4. To set the nodev-tmo parameter, issue the following command:
# ./hbacmd SetDriverParam <Port WWN> G P nodev-tmo 1
