Preface
The SANsurfer
®
FC/CNA HBA CLI tool provides a command line interface (CLI)
that lets you easily install, configure, and deploy QLogic
®
Fibre Channel (FC)
adapters, as well as QLogic Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) converged
network adapters (CNAs). It also provides robust diagnostic and troubleshooting
capabilities and useful statistical information to optimize SAN performance. This
tool only configures adapters on the local machine (where SANsurfer FC/CNA
HBA CLI is installed.)
SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI is a simplified, condensed version of the SANsurfer
FC HBA Manager graphical user interface (GUI), which manages both local and
remote hosts.
SANsurfer FC/CNA HBA CLI can be operated in two modes:
Interactive mode (menu-driven interface). This mode requires user
intervention.
Non-interactive mode (command line interface). Use this mode for
scripting or when you want to do a single operation.
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for end users responsible for administration of QLogic FC
adapters.
