To run user diagnostics in the CLI:
Use QConvergeConsole CLI (qaucli), a unified command line utility, to manage all
QLogic adapter models, including running user diagnostics.
The overall option (-pr <protocol>) allows you to start the utility with a specific
protocol type, either NIC, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel. If you do not specify a protocol,
all protocols are enabled by default. Table 3-3 and Table 3-4 list the
QConvergeConsole commands for selecting a protocol.
Diagnostic help commands, and command options available for each specific
protocol, are available by specifying -h to the protocol, as shown in Table 3-5.
