InForm OS Version 2.3.1 Command Line Interface Reference
OPTIONS
–m <mode>
This option can only be used with the rst subcommand. Resets the mode of the port. The
port can be reset into a
target or initiator mode. If not specified, the port is reset to
its current mode. If the port’s mode change value is prohibited, this command fails when
attempting to reset to a different mode. Use
showport –c to see whether mode change
is allowed or prohibited for a particular port. See notes at the bottom of this section for
additional information regarding port pair protection.
This option is deprecated and will soon be removed in a later release. Use controlport
config to set target (host) or initiator (disk) modes.
–l
Forces the port to reload firmware. This option can only be used with the rst subcommand
and cannot be used with the
-i option.
–c
When used with the Loop Initialization Primitive (LIP) subcommand:
CAUTION: The cable(s) must be disconnected from the port before resetting the
mode to
target or initiator.
CAUTION: Use caution when changing modes for ports in LSI Fibre Channel
adapters. Changing the mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to
target) causes the other port in the pair to also undergo a mode change. In the
case where one port in the pair is offline (and therefore a mode change can be
allowed), but the partner port is online, changing the mode of the offline port
causes the online partner port to undergo mode change as well. This results in
loss of use of the partner port because it is no longer online.
CAUTION: Issuing the controlport rst –l command affects both ports of a
port pair. Only use this command when irreversible damage has been done to a
port or port pair. For more information about ports in your system, issue the
showport –i command (see showport on page 22.121).
