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')

npivProperties setDefault

Sets to IxTclHal default values for all configuration options.

npivProperties addPlogi

Adds a PLOGI to npivProperties. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command.

npivProperties delPlogi plogiIndex

Deletes the PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set at the specified index. The index of the first entry is 1. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:

npivProperties getPlogi plogiIndex

Retrieves the PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set at the specified index. The index of the first entry is 1. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:

npivProperties getFirstPlogi

Retrieves the first PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:

npivProperties getNextPlogi

Retrieves the next PLOGI associated with this NPIV property set. The values are available in the fcoePlogi command. Specific errors are:

npivProperties removeAllPlogis

Deletes all of the PLOGIs associated with this NPIV property set.
