NAME

       fcnsq - Fibre Channel Name Server Query Tool

SYNOPSIS

       fcnsq host --gpn port_id [-q | --quiet]

       fcnsq host --gnn port_id [-q | --quiet]

       fcnsq host --gspn port_id [-q | --quiet]

       fcnsq host --gsnn wwpn [-q | --quiet]

       fcnsq ?

DESCRIPTION

       The fcnsq command performs Fibre Channel Name Server queries for a user-specified FC Host. The supported name server query commands
       include: Get Port Name (GPN), Get Node Name (GNN), Get Symbolic Node Name (GSNN), and Get Symbolic Port Name (GSPN) as described in FC-GS-3
       for the Common Transport (CT) services.

       fcnsq takes the host bsg name as the input for the target host. Host bsg name must be a valid bsg device, e.g., "host12" as derived from
       /dev/bsg/fc_host12. For each name server query command, the argument is either a Port ID or a World Wide Port Name. Port IDs and World Wide
       Names must be specified in hexadecimal. To disable verbose output, use the --quiet option.

OPTIONS

       host --gpn port_id
	   Get Port Name by Port ID for host.

       host --gnn port_id
	   Get Node Name by Port ID for host.

       host --gspn port_id
	   Get Symbolic Port Name by Port ID for host.

       host --gsnn wwpn
	   Get Symbolic Node Name by World Wide Port Name for host.

       -q, --quiet
	   Disable verbose output.

       ?
	   Display a help message with basic usage instructions.

EXAMPLES

       Query Get Port Name (GPN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027

	   fcnsq host12 --gpn bf0027

       Query Get Node Name (GNN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027

	   fcnsq host12 --gnn bf0027

       Query Get Symbolic Port Name (GSPN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027

	   fcnsq host12 --gspn bf0027

       Query Get Symbolic Node Name (GSNN) from host12 for WWWPN 0x1000001B213C9DDA

	   fcnsq host12 --gsnn 0x1000001B213C9DDA

NAME

       fipvlan - Fibre Channel over Ethernet VLAN Discovery

SYNOPSIS

       fipvlan [-c|--create] [-s|--start] interfaces

       fipvlan -a|--auto [-c|--create] [-d|--debug] [-s|--start] [-l|--link-retry <num>]

       fipvlan -h|--help

       fipvlan -v|--version

DESCRIPTION

       The  fipvlan  command  performs	Fibre  Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Initialization Protocol (FIP) VLAN Discovery over Ethernet interfaces.
       fipvlan can be used as a diagnostic tool to determine which VLANs have FCoE services available on a  network,  prior  to  configuring  VLAN
       interfaces  and	the  Open-FCoE	initiator.  fipvlan  can  also	be used to create VLAN interfaces as they are discovered, and to start the
       Open-FCoE initiator. The --create and --start options are primarily intended to be used	as  part  of  an  Open-FCoE  boot  solution.  FCoE
       instances started in this way cannot be destroyed or reset by fcoeadm.

       fipvlan takes a list of network interface names to run the VLAN discovery protocol over, or the --auto option to use all available Ethernet
       interfaces.

       fipvlan will enable any interface which is found to be not enabled by the time the program  runs.  If  no  response  is	received  on  that
       interface it will be shutdown again when fipvlan terminates.

OPTIONS

       -a, --auto
	   Use all Ethernet interfaces currently available

       -c, --create
	   Create  network interfaces for discovered FCoE VLANs. If a VLAN device already exists for a discovered VLAN, a new VLAN device will not
	   be created.

       -d, --debug
	   Enable debugging output

       -s, --start
	   Start the Open-FCoE initiator on discovered FCoE VLANs

       -f, --suffix <suffix string>
	   Append the specified string <suffix string> to VLAN interface names.

       -l, --link-retry <number of retries>
	   Retry check for link up up to <number of retries> times. The link state is retried every 500 ms. The default is 20.

       -h, --help
	   Display a help message with basic usage instructions

       -v, --version
	   Display the fipvlan version string

VLAN NAMING CONVENTIONS

       The default VLAN device name is dev.vlan; where dev is the name of the Ethernet parent device and vlan is the discovered VLAN ID number. An
       optional suffix can be appended to this with -f commandline option.

EXAMPLES

       Display all discoverable VLANs with FCoE services

	   fipvlan --auto

       Discover FCoE VLANs on interface eth2, create VLAN devices and start the Open-FCoE initiator

	   fipvlan --create --start eth2

       In this example if FCoE services were available on VLAN 101 of network interface eth2, then a VLAN interface eth2.101-fcoe would be created
       and used as the parent device for the initiator.
