Chapter 8 Virtual Host Bus Adapters (vHBAs) 141
vHBA State
You can control vHBA state by using the set vhba command to set the vHBA to
either up down, or clear.
-if Sets a termination slot and port for the vHBA. This
option can be used to terminate the vHBA on a different
Fibre Channel port if needed.
-lun-mask Binds a LUN Mask to a vHBA. The LUN Mask must
already exist for it to be available for binding. This
option is useful for adding a LUN Mask to a vHBA after
the vHBA is already created. For more information, see
“LUN Masking” on page 169.
-qos Binds a SAN QoS Profile to the vHBA. The SAN QoS
Profile must already exist for it to be available for
binding. This option is useful for adding a SAN QoS
Profile to a vHBA after the vHBA is already created. For
more information, see “SAN QoS for vHBAs” on
page 209.
<wildcard> Allows specifying selected wildcard characters (for
example, *) to facilitate executing a command for one or
more vHBAs.
Parameter Description
set vhba <vhba-name> [<wildcard>] down Deactivates the vHBA. The vHBA can be explicitly
named, or you can use a wildcard character (for example,
*) to turn down all vHBAs.
set vhba <vhba-name> [<wildcard>] up Brings the vHBA online. The vHBA can be explicitly
named, or you can use a wildcard character (for example,
*) to turn down all vHBAs.
set vhba <vhba-name> [<wildcard>] clear Clears items from the vHBA and leaves it in whichever
state it was in when you issued the clear command. The
vHBA can be explicitly named, or you can use a wildcard
character (for example, *) to turn down all vHBAs.
