Displaying information about HBAs

How to display HBA information  Top

The following table lists the commands available for displaying information about HBAs. The output varies depending on the FCP cfmode setting and the storage system model.

If you want to display...

Use this command...

Information for all adapters in the system, including firmware level, PCI bus width and clock speed, node name, cacheline size, Fibre Channel packet size, link data rate, SRAM parity, and various states

storage show adapter

All adapters (including HBAs, NICs, and switch port) configuration and status information

sysconfig [-v] [adapter] 

adapter is a numerical value only, for example, 5.

-v displays additional information about all adapters.

sysconfig -c

FCP cfmode setting

fcp show cfmode

FCP Traffic information

sysstat -f

How long FCP has been running

uptime

Initiator HBA port address, port name, node name, and igroup name connected to target HBAs

fcp show initiator [-v] [adapter&portnumber]

-v displays the Fibre Channel host address of the initiator.

adapter&portnumber is the slot number with the port number, a or b; for example, 5a.

Service statistics

availtime

Target HBAs configuration information

fcp config

Target HBAs node name, port name, and link state

fcp show adapter [-p] [-v] 
[adapter&portnumber] 

-p displays information about adapters running on behalf of the partner node.

-v displays additional information about target adapters.

adapter&portnumber is the slot number with the port number, a or b; for example, 5a.

Target HBAs statistics

fcp stats [-z] [adapter&portnumber]

-z zeros the statistics.

adapter&portnumber is the slot number with the port number, a or b; for example, 5a.

Information about traffic from the B ports of the partner storage system

sysstat -b

fcp nodename

Displaying information about all adapters  Top

To display information about all adapters installed in the storage system, complete the following step.

Step

Action

1

At the storage system, enter the following command to see information about all adapters.

sysconfig -v

Result

System configuration information and adapter information for each slot that is used is displayed on the screen. Look for Fibre Channel Target Host Adapter to get information about target HBAs.

Note
In the output, in the information about the Dual-channel QLogic HBA, the value 2312 does not specify the model number of the HBA; it refers to the device ID set by QLogic.

Note
The output varies according to storage system model. For example, if you have a FAS270, the target port is displayed as slot 0: Fibre Channel Target Host Adapter 0c.

Example

A partial display of information about a target HBA installed in slot 7 appears as follows:
