Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference
interface fci? devicediscoverytimer
interface fci? devicediscoverytimer
To enable the SN 5428-2 Storage Router internal Fibre Channel (FC) interfaces to perform background
device rediscovery for all attached FC targets at specific time intervals, use the
interface fci? devicediscoverytimer command.
interface fci? devicediscoverytimer nn
Syntax Description
Defaults The device discovery timer value is 0, indicating that automatic background device rediscovery is
disabled.
Command Modes Administrator.
Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to enable automatic device rediscovery on a periodic basis in environments where
LUNs can be created on FC targets, but no event occurs to cause devices to be rediscovered. This
situation may occur with certain RAID controllers or virtualization type devices.
You do not need to issue the interface fci? devicediscoverytimer command for both internal FC
interfaces. When you enable automatic background device rediscovery for one internal FC interface (for
example, fci1), the same setting is enabled for the other internal FC interface (for example, fci2).
When automatic background device rediscovery is enabled, use the show interface command with the
stats keyword to display the current device rediscovery timer configuration.
Examples The following example enables automatic device rediscovery every 20 minutes:
[SN5428-2A]# interface fci2 devicediscoverytimer 20
device discovery timer changed to 20 minutes on interface fci1
device discovery timer changed to 20 minutes on interface fci2
The following example disables automatic background device rediscovery by setting the device
discovery timer interval to 0. (This is the default setting.)
[SN5428-2A]# interface fci2 devicediscoverytimer 0
device discovery timer changed to 0 minutes on interface fci1
device discovery timer changed to 0 minutes on interface fci2
fci? The name of the internal FC interface. Valid values are fci1 or fci2. When
you type the interface fci? command, the CLI lists the interfaces available.
You cannot specify a nonexistent interface.
nn The amount of time, in minutes between automatic background device
rediscovery.
