NOTES
■ The -f option forces the operation. Without the option, the command will prompt for
confirmation. In some cases the command will ask for confirmation even if the
-f option is
specified because the operation might disrupt system operation.
■ The -m <mode> option for the rst subcommand cannot be specified if there are active
connections already using the port (port online) except as noted in the following section
under port pair protection. Port pair protection:
◆ For dual-port LSI Fibre Channel adapters, both ports in the pair must use the same mode
(initiator or target).
◆ For quad-port LSI Fibre Channel adapters, each port pair (ports 1 and 2, ports 3 and 4)
must use the same mode.
◆ Changing the mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to target) causes
the other port in the pair to undergo a mode change as well.
