Options
fcmsutil recognizes the following options as indicated in SYNOPSIS. All keywords are case-insensitive
and are position dependent.
device_file Can be used alone or with other options.
When used without any options it provides information such as the N_Port ID, Node World
Wide Name and Port World Wide Name, Topology of the Fabric, the Speed of the Link, the
Hard Physical Address of the Card, the Driver State, the number of Active Outbound
Exchanges and number of Active Logins.
For the TACHYON TL A5158A card, it provides information such as the N_port_ID, Node
World Wide Name and Port World Wide Name, Topology, Vendor ID, Device ID, the Driver
State, number of Assisted IOs and number of Active Logins. As per the FC protocol, Node
WWN will be numerically one more than the Port WWN.
The following topologies are defined:
UNKNOWN. The host adaptor card is not attached to a loop/loopback hood or has connection
problems and could not come up in a valid topology.
IN_LOOP/PRIVATE_LOOP
. The card is attached to a loop/loopback hood.
IN_LOOP_FL/PUBLIC_LOOP
. Supported by the TACHYON TL card. The card is
attached to a loop connected to a Fibre Channel switch.
IN_PTTOPT_NPORT. The card has come up in a point to point topology. This topology
can be an error if the the card was expected to come up in loop topology. Not legal in most
cases.
IN_PTTOPT_FABRIC. The card has come up in a point to point topology when connected
through a Fibre Channel switch. This topology can be an error if the card was expected to
come up in loop topology. Not legal in most cases.
IN_PTTOPT This is a transition topology. Not legal in most cases.
The following are the driver states:
DEAD. The driver couldn’t come up due to some problem. Check the connectivity with the
loop/loopback hood.
LOOPBACK_STATE. The host bus adaptor is in the loop back test phase.
OFFLINE. The host bus adaptor card is not participating on the loop.
READY/ONLINE . The driver is up and functional.
RESETTING. The host bus adaptor card is being reset.
All other states are only "transient" and should not continue for long. If the "transient"
state persists, there might be a problem in the hardware connectivity or configuration.
echo This option requires two parameters, the remote-AL_PA and data-size (size of packet to
send). An optional third argument (count) can be specified for the number of echo packets
to be sent. If the count option is not specified, one packet will be sent. The count option is
supported only by the TACHYON TL A5158A card.
Fibre Channel Echo packet(s) of the specified size is sent to the remote node. The com-
mand completes successfully when an echo response is received from the remote node and
matches the data sent, for all packets sent. The command times out if a response is not
received in twice RA_TOV time. Echo packets cannot be sent in a PUBLIC_LOOP
(FABRIC) topology.
Note: Packet size specified must be a multiple of 4.
rls This option requires one parameter, the remote-AL_PA. A Fibre Channel Request Link
Status (RLS) ELS is sent to the remote-AL_PA and the response data is displayed.
test This option requires two parameters, the remote-AL_PA and data-size (size of packet to
send). An optional third argument (count) can be specified for the number of echo packets
to be sent. If the count option is not specified, one packet will be sent. The count option is
supported only by the TACHYON TL A5158A card.
