This mode of operation enables you to use the emlxdrv utility as part of a script or another program 
capable of executing system-level calls. For a detailed explanation of each command and its arguments, 
see 

 on page 28.

This section provides a list of commands that can be issued with the emlxdrv utility program. You can 
view the list of commands at any time by running the emlxdrv utility in interactive mode (see 

Sets the emlxs driver to bind to the specified devices. You must specify one of the valid adapter aliases 
listed on the screen. Note that each alias is shared by multiple adapter models. Driver bindings can be 
made only with an adapter alias and not with a specific adapter model.

You may see the message "Cannot unload module". This indicates that you must reboot the system to 
get a driver to unbind from that adapter alias; emlxdrv only updates the system configuration for the next 
boot.

Example:

emlxdrv>   set_emlxs f980

Updating f980 ...
Cannot unload module: lpfc
Will be unloaded upon reboot.
