Introduction
1.1
Product Overview
The SANsurfer
®
FC HBA CLI tool provides a command line interface (CLI) that
lets you easily install, configure, and deploy QLogic
®
Fibre Channel (FC) host bus
adapters (HBAs). It also provides robust diagnostic and troubleshooting
capabilities and useful statistical information to optimize SAN performance. This
tool only configures HBAs on the local machine (where SANsurfer FC HBA CLI is
installed.)
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI is a simplified, condensed version of the SANsurfer FC
HBA Manager graphical user interface (GUI).
SANsurfer FC 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.
