SYNOPSIS
npivProperties sub-command options
DESCRIPTION
The npivProperties command is used to configure an unconnected NPIV interface. (NPIV means N_Port_ID Virtualization).
STANDARD OPTIONS
destinationId
Destination Identifier (default = 01.b6.69)
bufferToBufferRxSize
Maximum buffer-to-buffer Receive_Data_Field specified by the Fabric (default = 2112)
enableAutoPlogi
Automatically enables PLOGI to all the ports that are advertised by the fabric, or to PLOGI to a subset of the variable ports that belong to a specified domain. (default = false)
enableNs
true/false
Enables registration to Name Server (default = false)
enableNSQuery
If true, enables Name Server Query parameters for this FCoE server.
enablePlogi
true/false
Enables Port login to specified Destination ID (default = false)
enablePRLI
If true, enables Process Login parameters. The PRLI request is used to establish the operating environment between a group of related processes at the originating Nx_Port and a group of related processes at the responding Nx_Port. If true, this option causes the state machine to attempt a process login.
enableSCR
true/false
If set to true, the ENode registers for any changes with the Fabric by sending a State Change Registration packet. (default = false)
enableVnPortKeep

fullRegistration |
Register to receive all RSCN Requests issued. The RSCN Request returns all affected N_Port_IDs. |
sourceNodeWWN
Source node Worldwide Name - a Name_identifier that is worldwide unique, represented by a 64-bit value. (default = '00 ... 00')
sourcePortWWN
Source port Worldwide Name - a Name_identifier that is worldwide unique, represented by a 64-bit value. (default = '00 ... 00')

- The indexed entry does not exist in the list.
- Invalid index.
npivProperties getPlogi plogiIndex

- The indexed entry does not exist in the list.
npivProperties getFirstPlogi
Retrieves the first PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:
- There are no entries in the list.
npivProperties getNextPlogi
Retrieves the next PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:
- There are no more entries in the list.
