General Syntax and Keywords

-f
Specifies the format of the <target ID> used in the -i option. The <target
ID format> can be MAC, BDF, or NAME. Use MAC or BDF to select a device of
a <target type>. Use NAME to select either a team or a virtual adapter.
-i
Specifies the target identified by the <target ID>. The <target ID> can be
the Ethernet MAC address (using the NDIS device’s MAC address for Ethernet
and using the iSCSI device’s MAC address for iSCSI hardware offload and using
the teaming MAC address for VDB), the PCI bus-device-function (BDF) number,
iSCSI target name, or the name of a team or virtual adapter or host name.
-r
Specifies an IP address of a host to be accessed. If the -r option is not
specified, QCS CLI tries to read a persistent host file and connects to all hosts in
that file. When the -r option is specified, only the specified host is connected
and <command string> applies only to the specified host.
-p
Specifies the agent password; required to make any configuration changes.
-protocol
Specifies one of the following protocol types:
rpc
Uses the remote procedure call protocol to connect to QLogic Control Suite.
local
Uses the local protocol to connect to QLogic Control Suite on the local
system. The
local option does not require an agent.
-persist
Indicates that the host information is saved to the persistent hosts file when QCS
CLI exits.
Notes The <command string> includes the command, its options, parameters, and
values for the command. You must specify the <command string> within
double quotes, but if the <command string> contains only one command
without any option or command argument, the use of double quotes is optional.
If any name or parameter contains special character such as ^, &, and so on,
you must specify the special character within double quotes; for example, "^".
