Viewing and Changing Adapter Properties on Linux Use the following Linux utilities to view and change adapter properties: qaucli Utility ethtool Utility phantomcore Utility qaucli Utility Install QConvergeConsole CLI (qaucli) from the following packages supplied by QLogic: QConvergeConsoleCLI-_linux_.install.tar.gz-Package file QConvergeConsoleCLI-_.rpm-RPM installer package file Example RPM package installation: 1. To determine if the QCC is installed and to find the full name of the installed QCC RPM package, issue the following command using the partial name "QConvergeConsoleCLI" as an argument to grep: rpm -qa | grep QConvergeConsoleCLI 2. To check for an older version of the RPM package, issue the following command: rpm -qa QConvergeConsoleCLI 3. If an older version is found, erase that version by issuing the following command: rpm -e QConvergeConsoleCLI 4. To install the new version, issue the following command: rpm -ihv QConvergeConsoleCLI-1.0.00-04.i386.rpm The utility is installed in the /opt/QLogic_Corporation/QConvergeConsoleCLI directory. Some software releases require firmware to be updated in the NIC's Flash memory. See the release notes for your software package in order to see if this is necessary. If so, use the uCLI tool to flash the card. The qaucli utility forces uCLI to use the NIC protocol interface to do a Flash update. For example: .\qaucli -pr nic .updimages [cna_instance] image_file To have uCLI automatically select a protocol interface to do Flash update, issue the following command: .\qaucli -nic .updimages [cna_instance] image_file file:///T|/htdocs/NETWORK/QLogic/71922/en/lnxdrivr.htm[9/26/2012 4:26:08 PM]
