Emulex Solaris SFS Driver LP1150-F4 User Manual

#

If you do not want the utility to pause for verification, add a "-y" option just after the device path, and the 
emlxadm utility will skip the verification. For example:

# emlxadm /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl  -y  get_state  
21000020371938fa 

Information similar to the following is displayed:

Found path to 1 HBA port(s). 
HBA port:  /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl 
State: PORT_DEVICE_LOGGED_IN 

# 

If you want to run a command on multiple HBAs at once, you can use a pattern string instead of a full 
device path. If the entire pattern string matches any part of an HBA device path, the command will 
execute against that HBA. Again, in this example the emlxadm utility pauses to ask if you want to 
continue before executing the command. For example:

# emlxadm  "SUNW,emlxs@2"  get_num_devs

Information similar to the following is displayed: 

Found path to 2 HBA port(s). 
HBA port:  /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl 
        > Do you wish to continue with this device [y,n,q] ?  y   <--- Response 
required 

There are 5 devices reported on this port. 

HBA port:  /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2,1/fp@0,0:devctl 
        > Do you wish to continue with this device [y,n,q] ?  y   <--- Response 
required 

There are 0 devices reported on this port. 

# 

If you do not want the utility to pause for verification, add a "-y" option just after the pattern string, and 
the emlxadm utility will skip the verification. For example:

# emlxadm  "SUNW,emlxs@2"  -y  get_num_devs 

Information similar to the following is displayed:

Found path to 2 HBA port(s). 
HBA port:  /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl 

There are 5 devices reported on this port. 

HBA port:  /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2,1/fp@0,0:devctl 

There are 0 devices reported on this port. 

# 

This mode of operation enables you to use the emlxadm utility as part of a script or another program 
capable of executing system level calls.
