2 fcrProxyDevShow fcrProxyDevShow Displays FC Router proxy device information. Synopsis fcrproxydevshow [-a][-f fabricid][-w wwn] Description Use this command to display the proxy devices presented by FC Router EX_Ports and information about the proxy devices. A proxy device is a virtual device presented in to a fabric by an FC Router. A proxy device represents a real device on another fabric. When a proxy device is created in a fabric, the real Fibre Channel device is considered to be imported in to this fabric. The presence of a proxy device is required for interfabric device communication. The proxy device appears to the fabric as a real Fibre Channel device. It has a name server entry and is assigned a valid port ID. Proxy device information is available only for proxy devices that are presented by FC Routers on the same backbone fabric as this FC Router. The default output displays only proxy device information relevant to this FC Router. Relevant proxy devices include proxy devices created by this FC Router (devices imported by this FC Router). The proxy devices are listed by fabric. Search parameters -f and -w allow searching for proxy devices based on fabric ID or port WWN. "No proxy device found" is displayed if there is no proxy device information available on this FC Router. Each line of output displays: Proxy Created in Fabric The fabric in which the proxy device has been created. WWN The WWN of the device port. Proxy PID The port ID of the proxy device. The port ID is only relevant on the fabric specified by the "Proxy Created in Fabric" column. Device Exists in Fabric The fabric in which the physical device represented by this proxy device exists. Physical PID The port ID of the physical device. The port ID is relevant only on the fabric specified by the "Device Exists in Fabric" column. State State includes: Imported Proxy device has been imported into the fabric. Initializing The proxy device is being initialized and will soon be imported into the fabric. Operands This command has the following operands: -a Display all proxy devices for all FC Routers in the same backbone fabric whether or not they are relevant to this FC Router. -a -f fabricid Display the proxy devices in the specified fabric for all FC Routers in the same backbone fabric whether or not they are relevant to this FC Router. -f fabricid Display proxy devices in the specified fabric that are relevant to this FC Router 210 Fabric OS Command Reference Manual 53-1000436-01
