fcmsutil

[KPS]

Hi,

We're doing some work in our SAN where we are disabling a fibre path in EMC PowerPath. In addition they are recommending to use fcmsutil to stop i/o's at the HBA Driver level. I just went through the "man pages" and it's unclear to me what command syntax I would use to do this against the Fibre HBA instance. Can anyone help?

Thanks
KPS

You can disable the card by doing a :

fcmsutil /dev/td? disable

To enable again:

fcmsutil /dev/td? enable

Hi,

have a look at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60103/fcmsutil.1M.html

arguments: disable, enable

I don't know all the details about your current situation, but while reading the man page

http://docs.hp.com/en/B3921-60631/fcmsutil.1M.html

you will find the "disable" option - if this helps.

Thanks everyone for your help, I'm now all set...

Hey Torsten,

Give a person 5 minutes before complaining about not getting point assignments.
