5 – Non-Interactive Mode Commands
5-2 SN0054621-00 E
S
Table 5-1 defines the command variables. The command section to which they
apply. describes command-specific variables.
The positional parameters vary, depending on the command option specified. For
example, to display an HBA’s configured settings, use the command option -C,
followed by the port instance number (positional parameter). In contrast, the
command for providing general information, -g, has no positional parameters.
In non-interactive mode, most changes made to the port instance become
effective immediately. This sometimes will cause the HBA to reset, as specified in
the command description. Be sure the system is prepared for a HBA reset before
making changes.
