Note: Enter commands in lowercase only; mixed case is for readability.

Operands This command has the following operands:

-r Replaces the TTL attribute output with SCR (state change registration)

information in the display. This value indicates what type of RSCN a device

registers to receive. Values include:

SCR=0 Reserved.

SCR=1 Fabric detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests issued

by the fabric controller for events detected by the fabric.

SCR=2 Nx_Port detected registration. Register to receive all RSCN requests

issued for events detected by the affected Nx_Port.

SCR=3 Register to receive all RSCN request issued. The RSCN request returns

all effected N_Port_ID pages.

-t Displays the device type. Of the two device type parts, the first part indicates the

origination of the device. Currently, four originations are defined:

Physical

Device connected to the Nx_Port, using FLOGI to login to the switch

Virtual Contrived device by the switch

NPV Device connected to the Nx_Port, using FDISC to log in to the switch

iSCSI Device connected to the iSCSI port

The second part indicates the role of the device. Currently, four roles are defined:

Unknown (initiator/target)

Device role is not detected

Initiator An SCSI initiator

Target An SCSI target

Initiator+Target

Both an SCSI initiator and an SCSI target

Note

Fabric OS v4.2.x or earlier does not include device type information. After a

nondisruptive upgrade from those Fabric OS versions, the device type displays as

“Physical Unknown(initiator/target)”.
