To view the adapter port’s LED beacon state, issue the following command:
qaucli -pr fc -a <hba instance>|<hba wwpn> view|info
The following message appears:
HBA Port x - LED Flashing is <state>.
Where <state> is ON if the LED is flashing, or OFF if the LED is not flashing.
In Solaris SPARC, include double quotes around the question mark (?) if the
system is running with a csh or tcsh shell. For example:
qaucli -pr fc -a <hba instance> | <hba wwpn> "?"
To cause an adapter’s LED beacon to start or stop flashing, issue the following
command:
qaucli -pr fc -a <hba instance>|<hba wwpn>
QConvergeConsole CLI toggles the LED’s state. If the LED is flashing, the
flashing stops. If the LED is not flashing, the flashing begins.
If QConvergeConsole CLI is not in silent mode (see “-s (Suppress Output [Silent
Mode])” on page 87), 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
-b (Flash Update; Save Flash)
Use the -b command to:
Update the BIOS or FCode from a file.
Save the BIOS or FCode to a file.
To update the Flash of one or all adapters with new BIOS or FCode, issue the
following command:
qaucli -b <all>|<hba instance>|<hba wwpn> [-rg <all>] <image file>
[<model type>] [--ports]
NOTE
The BIOS or FCode cannot be updated when the System Lockdown Mode
feature is enabled. Use the command “-i (FC Adapter Information; FC VPD
Information; FC VFC Information)” on page 53 command to view the
System Lockdown Mode status. Use the Dell Management Console
Dashboard to change the status. By default, the Firmware Update Lockdown
feature is enabled.
