vHBA and vNIC BCU commands
Whether a port is configured for a single function or in the case of vNICs, multiple functions, each
PF is assigned a PCI function ID (pcfid). This pcfid is used as a parameter in BCU commands to
configure additional features or display information for that specific PF. For example, pcfid can be
used in certain BCU debug, authentication, diagnostic, Ethernet port, lport, rport, VLAN, and FCP
initiator mode commands, Specific vNIC and vHBA BCU commands are available for configuring
vHBAs and vNICs. Examples of these commands follow:
•
vhba --query <pcifn> - Queries information about the virtual HBA.
•
vhba --enable <pcifn> - Enables a vHBA on a specified adapter port for a specified PF.
•
vhba –-disable <pcifn> - Disables a vHBA on a specified adapter port for a specified PCI
function.
•
vhba --stats <pcifn> -Displays statistics for the virtual HBA.
•
vhba --statsclr <pcifn> - Resets statistics for the virtual HBA.
For details on using these commands, refer to the
Brocade Adapters Administrator’s Guide
.
Following are available vNIC commands:
•
vnic --create <port_id> [-b <bandwidth>] - Creates a new vNIC instance for a given adapter
port. You can specify the maximum bandwidth allowable for this vNIC.
•
vnic --delete <pcifn> - Removes the specified vNIC instance.
•
vnic --query <pcifn> - Queries information about the virtual NIC.
•
vnic --enable <pcifn> - Enables a vNIC on a specified adapter port for a specified PCI function.
•
vnic --disable <pcifn> - Disables a vNIC on a specified adapter port for a specified PCI function.
•
vnic --stats <pcifn> - Displays statistics for the virtual NIC.
•
vnic --statsclr <pcifn> - Resets vNIC statistics.
•
vnic --bw <pcifn> <bandwidth> - Modifies the maximum allowable bandwidth for a vNIC.
