Using the CLI Client
Syntax Rules
The syntax rules for hbacmd are as follows:
•
All CLI Client commands and their arguments are not case sensitive.
•
The requested operation must contain at least three characters, or as many as needed to
distinguish it from any other operation.
•
Whenever a WWPN is specified, individual fields are separated by colons (:) or spaces ( ). When
using space separators, the entire WWPN must be enclosed in quotes (").
•
When a MAC address is specified the fields are separated by a dash (-).

RemoveAllPersistentBinding, BindingCapabilities, BindingSupport and
SetBindingSupport commands are not supported for Linux or Solaris.
Note: The BindingCapabilities, BindingSupport, GetLunList, GetLunMaskbyHBA, GetLun-

All other hbacmd commands return an error message “This command is currently not

entries, hbacmd shows “Not Available”. For details on parameters not supported for
specific commands, see Table 4 starting on page 162.

HBAnyware version 4.x, the PG 1 and PG 2 settings and all bandwidth settings are
disabled and the Enable Host Ethernet Priority Flow Control (PFC) Linkage is
disabled.
