To view the adapter port’s LED beacon state, type:
# scli -a (<hba instance> | <hba wwpn>)(view | ?)
When the adapter’s LED is flashing, the following message appears:
HBA Port x - LED Flashing is ON.
When the adapter’s LED is not flashing, the following message appears:
HBA Port x - LED Flashing is OFF.
In Solaris SPARC, include double quotes around the question mark (?) if the 
system is running with a csh or tsch shell. For example:

To start or stop flashing the adapter’s LED beacon, type:
# scli -a (<hba instance> | <hba wwpn>)
SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI toggles the LED’s state. If the LED is flashing, the 
flashing stops. If the LED is not flashing, the flashing begins.
If SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI is not in silent mode (see “-s (Silent Mode)” on 
page 4-45), one of the following messages appears to indicate the LED’s current 
state:
The LED Flashing for <hba instance> <hba wwpn> has been turned 
ON
The LED Flashing for <hba instance> <hba wwpn> has been turned 
OFF
The hba instance and hba wwpn variables must match the command input 
parameter.
