Fabric OS Commands setgbicmode Enable or disable GBIC mode. Synopsis: V3.1.x setgbicmode [mode] Synopsis: V4.1.x setgbicmode [mode | -show] Availability Admin Release V3.1.x and V4.1.x Description Use this command to enable or disable the GBIC mode. If the mode operand is 1, GBIC mode is enabled; if the mode operand is 0, GBIC mode is disabled. The mode is saved in non-volatile memory and the GBIC remains in that mode until the next execution of setgbicmode. The mode becomes active as soon as this command is executed. It does not require a reboot to take effect. The GBIC mode, when enabled, forces crossPortTest and spinSilk to limit testing to ports with GBICs present. Consequently, testing is limited to those ports with a suspected problem. 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 setsfpmode command. The command is included in the current Fabric OS for backward compatibility of scripts used by some customers. 750 Fabric OS Version 3.1.x/4.1.x Reference Guide
