Managing Emulex HBA with hbacmd

The Emulex hbacmd utility can be used to print lot of configuration and performance attributes and can be used to manage the HBA operations. 

To view performance metrics of HBA:

To view all available performance metrics, the hbacmd utility can be invoked with the “portstat” option and the WWPN to view:
 

# hbacmd PortStat 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47

Resetting Emulex HBAs

 
On some situations, it may be necessary to reset an Emulex HBA to re-establish connectivity to fabric services.  To reset an adaptor with hbacmd, the WWPN is passed as an parameter:

# /usr/sbin/hbanyware/hbacmd Reset 10:00:00:00:c9:49:2c:b4
Reset HBA 10:00:00:00:c9:49:2c:b4

List all available HBAs:

To view all of the Emulex HBAs installed in a server, hbacmd can be invoked with the “listhbas” option:

# hbacmd listhbas

Get HBA and Port Attributes:

To list firmware versions, serial numbers, WWN and a variety of model specific information, the hbacmd can be invoked with the “hbaattrib” option and the WWN to probe:

# hbacmd HBAAttrib 10:00:00:00:c9:49:28:47
