DEAD. The driver couldn’t come up due to some problem. Check the connectivity with the
loop/loopback hood.
LOOPBACK_STATE/LOOPBACK
. The host bus adapter is in the loop back test phase.
OFFLINE/DISABLED
. The host bus adapter is not participating on the loop. In case of
DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo Cards, this state is the result of user disabling the card
through the ’disable’ option in fcmsutil.
READY/ONLINE . The driver is up and functional.
RESETTING. The host bus adapter is being reset.
SUSPENDED. The driver has been suspended by the user. This state is applicable only to
DUAL PORT & FC/GigE Combo cards.
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.
The following link speeds are defined:
UNINITIALIZED . The host bus adapter not could converge to a common link speed or
adapter is not connected.
1Gb. The link is online and the operating speed is 1 Gigabits per second.
2Gb. The link is online and the operating speed is 2 Gigabits per second.
vpd (XL/QL) This option is used to display "Vital Product Data" information of the HBA. It includes
information such as the Product description, Part number, Engineering Date Code, Part
serial number, etc. This option is supported only by TACHYON XL2 A6795A, DUAL PORT
A6826A and FC/GigE Combo A9782A/A9784A cards.
echo This option is used to send an ECHO ELS frame on the wire. It requires two parameters,
the remote-N-Port-ID 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 TACHYON TL,
TACHYON XL2, DUAL PORT & FC/GigE Combo cards.
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 topol-
ogy.
Note: Packet size specified must be a multiple of 4.
rls This option is used to send an RLS (Request Link Status) ELS frame on the wire. It
requires one parameter, the remote-N-Port-ID. The ELS is sent to this remote-N-Port-ID
and the response data is displayed.
test This option is used to send a TEST ELS on the wire. It requires two parameters, the
remote-N-Port-ID 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 TACHYON TL,
TACHYON XL2, DUAL PORT and FC/GigE COMBO cards.
The command completes successfully and immediately on sending all the test packets.
Note: Packet size specified must be a multiple of 4.
read This option is used to read from HBA’s internal registers. It requires one parameter, the
offset of the register to read from. The offset can be specified in either hex or in decimal
format. The offset specified is an offset from the base of the Memory Map. The user of this
command is therefore expected to have internal knowledge of the chip. Reading from the
Tachyon frame manager status register (0x01c8) is restricted.
An optional second argument (pci) can be specified for TACHYON TL, TACHYON XL2,
DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo cards, to read from the PCI config space. If no second
argument is specified, it reads from the chip register space.
write This option is used to write into HBA’s registers. It requires two parameters, the offset of
the register to write to and the value to be written.
