ns_query_ports
(TL/XL/QL)
This option is used to query the name server and get the list of nports.
-k option can be
used to get the list of nports cached by the driver.
dump_current_state
(QL)
This option is used to force the driver and firmware to dump their current state informa-
tion and other data structures. WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation. This
might result in failure of current I/O requests. The dump data will be saved in the
/tmp directory. The Firmware dump will be stored in a file named
fcdfw_date-
timestamp
.dmp and the driver dump will be saved in a file named
fcddrv_date-
timestamp
.dmp. This option is supported only by DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo
cards.
dump_saved_state
(QL)
This option is used to retrieve firmware and driver dump, saved in the driver memory.
Driver initiates a dump when a fatal event is encountered. Fatal events could be either
because of firmware hang or because there was an irrecoverable error either in the
firmware or hardware. The dump files will be saved in the
/tmp directory. The Firmware
dump will be stored in a file named
fcdfw_date-timestamp
.dmp and the driver dump
will be saved in a file named
fcddrv_date-timestamp
.dmp. These dumps should be sent
to HP for further analysis of the problem. This option is supported only by DUAL PORT
and FC/GigE Combo cards.
NOTE: The driver does not save any new dumps, until the previously saved dump is
retrieved with this option. The availability of a saved dump can be checked by running
fcmsutil FCD_device_file.
dump_nvram (QL)
This option is used to display the contents of NVRAM on the adapter. It is supported only
by DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo cards.
rom_fw_update (QL)
This option is used to update the ROM firmware stored in card’s FLASH ROM. WARN-
ING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation. Using this option may result in failure
of current I/O requests. This option requires the name of a binary image file that con-
tains the updated firmware. This operation should only be performed by qualified person-
nel. Failure to successfully complete the firmware update may result in adapter and/or sys-
tem failure in case the boot disks are accessed through this card.
This option is supported only by DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo cards.
efi_drv_update (QL)
This option is used to update the EFI driver stored in card’s FLASH ROM. WARNING:
This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation. Using this option may result in failure of
current IO requests. This option requires the name of a binary image file that contains
the EFI driver. This operation should only be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to
successfully complete the EFI driver update may result in adapter and/or system boot up
failure if the boot disks are accessed through this card.
[
-f] set_int_delay (QL)
The set_int_delay option is used for setting the interrupt delay mode and value, or
for turning off interrupt delay. Settings made using this option are not persistent across
reboots. WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation and will abort communi-
cation to all target devices until the process is completed. The -f option can be
used to suppress the warning message.
The off option turns off interrupt delay.
The interrupt delay mode, also known as Zero Interrupt Operation (ZIO) mode, is set using
the -z option. There are two interrupt delay modes available: 5 and 6. Mode 5 delays
every interrupt by the interrupt delay period. Mode 6 delays an interrupt unless there are
no active I/Os in the HBA port, in which case the interrupt is generated immediately. If
the -z option is not specified, then mode 6 is used by default. The interrupt delay period is
calculated from the interrupt delay value using the formula:
value * 200 microseconds
