gbicShow Description: V4.1.x Use this command to display information about SFPs. Note: The current technology in the StorageWorks Core switch, and StorageWorks 2 Gb SAN switch use SFPs instead of GBICs. This command is now replaced by the sfpshow command. The command is included in the current Fabric OS for backward compatibility of scripts used by some customers. Operands SFPs are polled by a background process. The gbicshow command retrieves the latest information from cache. The cache values for each SFP are updated when the SFP is hot plugged, when it is removed, or when the Fabric OS polls the SFPs. In the StorageWorks Core switch, if there is a lot of activity on the switch, poll updates may take several minutes. Use this command with no operand to display a summary of all SFPs in the switch. The summary shows the SFP type (see switchshow for an explanation of the two letter codes) and, for Serial ID SFP, the vendor name and SFP serial number. Use this command with the slotnumber and portnumber operands to display detailed information about the SFP in that port. This command has the following operands: slotnumber (V4.1.x only) portnumber Specify the slot number for a StorageWorks Core switch. For all other switches this operand is not required. The slot number must be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port number, so that each port is represented by both slot number (1 through 4, or 7 through 10), and port number (0 through 15). The StorageWorks Core switch has a total of 1-10 slots. Slot number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and slot 1 through 4, and 7 through 10, are port cards. On each port card, there are 16 ports counted from the bottom, 0 to 15. Specify a port number. Valid values for port number vary depending on the switch type. This operand is optional.
