This mode of operation enables you to use the emlxdrv utility as part of a script or another program
capable of executing system-level calls. For a detailed explanation of each command and its arguments,
see
Command Descriptions (emlxdrv) on page 28.
Command Descriptions (emlxdrv)
This section provides a list of commands that can be issued with the emlxdrv utility program. You can
view the list of commands at any time by running the emlxdrv utility in interactive mode (see
Interactive
Mode (emlxdrv)
on page 26).
set_emlxs <alias>
Sets the emlxs driver to bind to the specified devices. You must specify one of the valid adapter aliases
listed on the screen. Note that each alias is shared by multiple adapter models. Driver bindings can be
made only with an adapter alias and not with a specific adapter model.
You may see the message "Cannot unload module". This indicates that you must reboot the system to
get a driver to unbind from that adapter alias; emlxdrv only updates the system configuration for the next
boot.
Example:
emlxdrv> set_emlxs f980
Updating f980 ...
Cannot unload module: lpfc
Will be unloaded upon reboot.
Done.
set_emlxs_sun
Sets the emlxs driver to bind to all Sun devices.
Example:
emlxdrv> set_emlxs_sun
Updating fc00 ...
Done.
set_emlxs_all
Sets the emlxs driver to bind to all devices. You may see the message "Cannot unload module". This
indicates that you must reboot the system to get a driver to unbind from that adapter alias; emlxdrv only
updates the system configuration for the next boot.
Example:
emlxdrv> set_emlxs_all
Updating lpfs ...
Updating f800 ...
