Introduction
The Emulex
®
OneCommand
TM
Manager application is a comprehensive management utility for Emulex
host bus adapters (HBAs) and converged network adapters (CNAs) that provides a powerful, centralized
adapter management suite, including discovery, reporting and management of local and remote
adapters from a single console anywhere in the Storage Area Network (SAN) and across platforms.
Remote configuration capability can be provided by either Fibre Channel (FC) access via host systems
on the same FC SAN or by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) access from IP
addresses of remote machines.
The OneCommand Manager application contains a both graphical user interface (GUI) and a command
line interface (CLI).
This manual describes the OneCommand Manager application for the following operating systems:
•
Windows
•
Solaris SAN Foundation Software (SFS) (‘emlxs’ is the module name for the Emulex driver for
Solaris SFS)
•
Linux
•
VMware ESX Server
Use the OneCommand Manager application to do any of the following (refer to Table 1 to determine if a
specific feature or task is supported by your operating system):
•
Discover local and remote hosts, adapters, targets, virtual ports, virtual machines and Logical
Unit Numbers (LUNs)
•
Enable local and FC discovery of Emulex and OEM branded Emulex adapters
•
Change an adapter’s World Wide Port Name (WWPN) or World Wide Node Name (WWNN)
•

or multiple adapters using Batch Update
•
Enable or disable the adapter boot (x86 BootBIOS, FCode, EFIBoot or PXEBoot)
•
Run diagnostic tests on adapters
•
Manage local, FC remote and TCP/IP-accessed adapters
•
Locate adapter ports using beaconing
•
Mask and unmask FC LUNs
•
Perform authentication using the Fibre Channel Security Protocol Diffie-Hellman Challenge
Handshake Authentication Protocol (FC-SP DHCHAP)
•

•
Run in read-only mode
•
Configure FC boot from SAN
•
Modify an IP port number of the remote management agent
•
