The options that are available only for TACHYON TL A5158A, A6684A, A6685A HBAs are indicated by
"TL" in the description for the option.
TACHYON XL2 A6795A HBA only options are indicated by "XL".
DUAL PORT A6826A and FC/GigE A9782A/A9784A Combo HBA only options are indicated by "QL".
All other options (which do not have the "TL" or "XL" or "QL" indication) are supported (completely or par-
tially) by all the above HBAs.
fcmsutil can be used only by users who have an effective user ID of 0. Some of the options require
detailed knowledge of the device specific adapter.
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 Out-
bound Exchanges and number of Active Logins.
For TACHYON TL and TACHYON XL2 cards, it provides information such as the
N_port_ID, Node World Wide Name and Port World Wide Name, Topology, Vendor ID,
the Chip Revision Number, Device ID, the Driver State, Hardware path, number of
Assisted IOs and number of Active Logins, Presence of Dino bus bridge, Maximum frame
size and Driver version.
For DUAL PORT and FC/GigE Combo cards, it provides information such as the
N_port_ID, Node World Wide Name and Port World Wide Name of HBA and the the
switch when applicable, Topology, Vendor ID, Device ID, ISP Code revision, PCI Bus
mode, the Driver State, Hardware path, Maximum frame size, Firmware Dump informa-
tion and Driver version.
As per the FC protocol, Node WWN will be numerically one more than the Port WWN.
For TACHYON XL2 card (A6795A), DUAL PORT(A6826A), and FC/GigE Combo Cards
(A9782A/A9784A) negotiated Link Speed is also indicated in addition to the above infor-
mation.
The following topologies are defined:
UNKNOWN. The host bus adapter is not attached to a loop/loopback hood or has connec-
tion problems and could not come up in a valid topology.
PRIVATE_LOOP. The host bus adapter is attached to a loop/loopback hood.
PUBLIC_LOOP. Supported by TACHYON TL, TACHYON XL2, DUAL PORT and
FC/GigE Combo cards. The host adapter is attached to a loop connected to a Fibre Chan-
nel switch.
IN_PTTOPT_NPORT/PTTOPT_NPORT. The host bus adapter has come up in a point to
point topology. This topology can be an error if the card was expected to come up in loop
topology. Not legal in most cases.
PTTOPT_FABRIC. The host bus adapter 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.
The following are the driver states:
LOOPBACK_STATE. 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.
