CLI Command Descriptions
PORT is the parameter name for the port variable that specifies which host port
(1 or 2) the connection is on.
REJECTED_HOST=rejected-host-index
To manually add rejected host zero, issue the following command:
ADD CONNECTION REJECTED_HOST=0
NOTE: Use SHOW CONNECTIONS FULL to display the rejected host connections.
This command adds a !NEWCONxx connection to the connection table in an
OFFLINE state. The host must issue a FC PLOGI to make the connection active.
There are mechanisms to do this in UNIX, VMS, but not NT (except reboot).
For example, to force the connection into an online state, issue the following
command:
CLI> SET <THIS | OTHER> PORT_<1|2>_TOPOLOGY = OFFLINE
followed by:
CLI> SET <THIS | OTHER> PORT_<1|2>_TOPOLOGY = FABRIC
This forces all hosts connected to that controller/port to re-login. Additionally,
hosts connected to the controller pair through the same switch (regardless of
controller | port) re-login as well.
CAUTION: This implementation is the safest, since pinging the fabric name server
would result in all hosts re-logging in (up to 96).
When the connection is added, it gets deleted from the reject list. Index numbers
for remaining rejected hosts are re-ordered.
