QConvergeConsole CLI

QConvergeConsole CLI
The QConvergeConsole CLI is a unified CLI that manages Ethernet and Fibre
Channel functions on QLogic adapters. The QConvergeConsole CLI
non-interactive mode starts, performs the functions defined by the list of
parameters provided, and then terminates. Use the noninteractive mode to run the
QConvergeConsole CLI from a script file or when you want to perform a single
operation.
You can automate management and monitoring tasks using scripts. You must
install the CLI on the host in which the QLogic adapter is installed. The CLI
manages only the host on which it is installed. The CLI is also available as a menu
interface.
The QConvergeConsole CLI lets you manage and monitor both FCoE and
Ethernet (NIC) port functions on QLogic 8100 Series Adapters.
For information about obtaining, installing, configuring, and using the
QConvergeConsole CLI, refer to the QConvergeConsole CLI User’s Guide for
your adapter model and target operating system version at

Offline Utilities
The QLogic 8100 Series Converged Network Adapter can be managed with the
QConvergeConsole web management GUI or QConvergeConsole CLI, when the
adapter is online, and transacting data or control operations. These management
tools are operating-system specific and typically require the installation of one or
more components on the server.
QLogic offers offline utilities that are bundled with the adapter firmware/boot code.
These utilities are recommended only for experienced users who are managing
and configuring adapters that are offline.
There are separate offline utilities for BIOS servers and UEFI servers. The offline
utilities for BIOS servers are as follows:
Fast!UTIL—This utility is standard on all QLogic Converged Network
Adapters as part of the multi-boot image. Fast!UTIL configures advanced
adapter features, including boot-from-SAN.
FlasUTIL—This utility installs the multi-boot image (including firmware) on
the QLogic Converged Network Adapter.
