Introduction

The Emulex

OneCommand

Manager application is a comprehensive management utility for Emulex

LightPulse

host bus adapters (HBAs) and OneConnect

universal converged network adapters

(UCNAs) that provides a powerful, centralized adapter management suite. Adapter management

includes discovery, reporting and management of local and remote adapters from a single console

anywhere in the Storage Area Network (SAN) and across operating system platforms. Remote

configuration capability can be provided by either Fibre Channel (FC) access via host systems on the

same FC SAN or by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) access from IP addresses

of remote machines. The OneCommand Manager application contains a graphical user interface (GUI)

and a command line interface (CLI). This manual describes the OneCommand Manager application for

the following operating systems:

• Windows

•Linux

• VMware ESX Server

• Solaris

Use the OneCommand Manager application to do any of the following (refer to Table 1 to determine if a

specific feature or task is supported by your operating system):

• Discover local and remote Emulex and OEM branded Emulex adapters, as well as hosts,

targets, virtual ports, virtual machines and logical unit numbers (LUNs) over FC or TCP/IP

• Manage local, FC remote and TCP/IP-accessed adapters

• Remote TCP/IP management of adapters on IPv6 hosts

• Discover, log-in to, and log-out from iSCSI targets

• Set FC/FCoE adapter driver parameters simultaneously to multiple adapters using Batch Update

• Update firmware and FC boot code (x86 BootBIOS, OpenBoot or EFIBoot) on a single adapter

or multiple adapters using Batch Update

• Set global FC/FCoE driver parameters

• Enable or disable adapter boot (x86 BootBIOS, FCode, EFIBoot or PXE Boot)
