HP-UX Reference (11i v2 07/12) - 1M System Administration Commands A-M (vol 3)

f
fcmsutil(1M) fcmsutil(1M)
This option is typically used when a hardware problem cannot be resolved and is interfering
with system performance.
enable This option is used to enable the card, typically when a previous hardware problem has
been resolved.
ns_query_ports
[-k]
This option is used to query the name server and get the list of nports for the Fibre Chan-
nel driver.
The
-k option is used to get the list of nports cached in the driver query buffer. The name
server will not be queried in this case.
[-f] dump_current_state
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 -f option can be used to suppress the warning message displayed by the Fibre Chan-
nel driver utility.
The dump data will be saved in the /tmp directory. The firmware dump will be stored in a
file named FC-driverfw_date-timestamp
.dmp and the driver dump will be saved in a file
named FC-driverdrv_date-timestamp
.dmp.
dump_saved_state
This option is used to retrieve firmware and driver dump saved in the driver memory. The
driver initiates a dump when an internal error is encountered. Internal errors could be
either due to firmware hang or to an irrecoverable error 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 FC-driverfw_date-timestamp
.dmp and the driver dump will be saved in a file
named FC-driverdrv_date-timestamp
.dmp. These dumps should be sent to HP for further
analysis of the problem.
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 device_file.
dump_nvram This option is used to display the contents of NVRAM on the adapter.
rom_fw_update ROM-firmware-file
This option is used to update the ROM firmware stored in card’s FLASH ROM.
WARNING: 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 contains the updated firmware.
This operation should only be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to successfully
complete the firmware update may result in adapter and/or system failure in case the boot
disks are accessed through this card.
efi_drv_update EFI-Driver-file
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
This option is used to set the interrupt delay mode and value, or to turn off interrupt delay.
Settings made using this option are not persistent across reboots.
WARNING: This is a DESTRUCTIVE operation and will abort communication to all target
devices until the process is completed.
