Optional Modifiers
▼ Configure a Basic vHBA
Take the following steps to enable a minimum vHBA configuration:
1. Create a named server profile and bind it to a physical-server connection:
Modifier Description
-detail An optional modifier that allows displaying detailed information (if
available) for the vHBA.
-local-id The identifier used by ESX Server to map its HBA to this vHBA.
Enter 1 to 32. Each ID must be unique per ESX Server.
-lun-mask Sets LUN mask on targets visible to this vHBA. For more about LUN
masking vHBAs, see “LUN Masking” on page 169.
-map Sets persistent SAN map. For more about persistent mapping, see
“Persistent Binding” on page 142.
-mtu Sets maximum transmission unit. Acceptable values:
• 2048: 2MB
• 256: 256KB (this is the default value)
• 512: 512KB
• 1024: 1MB
• default: 256KB
-no-confirm Allows removing vHBAs without displaying a confirmation prompt.
This option assumes “yes” to the prompt asking for confirmation,
and if used, no warning messages will be displayed and the vHBA
will be immediately delete.
-no-lun-masking Sets no LUN reporting on this vHBA. For more information, see
“Optional LUN Masking: No Report LUN Interception” on page 174.
<wildcard> Allows specifying selected wildcard characters (for example, *) to
facilitate executing a command for one or more vHBAs.
-wwn-id Specifies a particular WWN. This option allows you to enter the
WWN suffix, which is the last 12 bits of the WWN address. The
WWN suffix is a 12-bit hexadecimal number from 100 to FFF.
