CNA single-port models BR-1010 and BR-1020.

When trunking is enabled, multiple physical ports are trunked together to form a logical Fibre
Channel port.
Synopsis bcu adapter --enable < ad_id >
bcu adapter --disable < ad_id >
bcu adapter --list
bcu adapter --name < serial-no | adapter-index > < adapter-name >
bcu adapter --query < ad_id >
Description Displays and sets commands that apply to the physical adapter. There can be one or more PCI
functions per adapter, which are referred to as
ports . Each port exposes a logical Fibre Channel
port, which typically equates to a physical Fibre Channel port.
Operands When invoked without operands, this command displays the usage.
--enable Enables the adapter.
ad_id Specifies the ID of the adapter you want to enable.
--disable Disables the adapter.
ad_id Specifies the ID of the adapter you want to disable.
--list Lists all adapters in the system. For each adapter in the system, a brief
summary line is displayed.
--name Displays or specifies the name of the adapter.
Note: Use an empty string (“ “) to clear a previous adapter name. Adapter
names are stored persistently.
serial-no | adapter-index
Specifies the serial number or the ID of the adapter for which you want to
display information.
adapter-name Specifies the adapter name. The name can include up to 15 characters, must
begin with a letter, can consist of letters, digits, hyphens, and underscore
characters, but must not contain spaces. This operand is optional; if you do
not specify an adapter name, the current adapter name displays.
--query Queries or displays adapter information.
ad_id Specifies the ID of the adapter for which you want to query.

bcu adapter --list
