IBM XIV - Discovering FC Hosts

Chapter 19. Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration and Status
The following sections describe the XIV Command Line Interface (XCLI) for fibre
channel port configuration.
The sections are listed as follows:
v fc_connectivity_list(Discovers FC hosts and targets on the FC network.)
v fc_port_config(Configures FC ports.)
v fc_port_list(Lists the status and configuration of the system's FC ports.)
v fc_port_reset(Resets an FC port.)
v host_connectivity_list(Lists FC and iSCSI-level connectivity to a pre-defined
host. )
Discovering FC Hosts
Discovers FC hosts and targets on the FC network.
fc_connectivity_list [ role=<dual|initiator|target> ] [ wwpn=WWPN ]
[ module=ModuleNumber | fc_port=ComponentId ]
Parameters:
Name Type Description Mandatory Default
role Enumeration Specifies whether
the discovery is for
initiators or
targets.
N list all - targets
and/or initiators.
wwpn N/A Limits the output
only to this
specific address.
N All addresses
module N/A Limits the output
to only enable
connectivity to this
module.
N All modules
fc_port N/A Limits the output
to this specific XIV
port.
N All ports
This command lists FC hosts on the network.
type=initiator detects initiators on the network. When type=initiator, the
non-logged-in option can only be used to debug hosts that are on the network, but
that did not log in.
type=target detects targets. When type=target, the non-logged-in option can only
be used to debug targets that rejected the XIV login. This command creates an
error for a target-only port to list targets, or for an initiator-only port to list
initiators. Each output line contains the following information:
v Component ID (of the module)
v XIV port number (within the module)
v WWPN
