portCfgNPIVPort

NOTES

The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in
place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
details.

When using portCfgNPIVPort --disable or --enable on trunked ports, you must disable all trunk member
ports before changing the NPIV capability on a trunk member and then re-enable the trunked ports to
ensure that the configuration changes take effect.

Use the portCfgShow command to determine whether NPIV is enabled on a port and to display the
maximum logins configured for that port. Use the portCfgDefault command to reset all port
configurations, including the NPIV configuration of a port.

OPERANDS

This command has the following operands:

slot

For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port to be configured,
followed by a slash (/).

port

Specifies the number of the port to be configured, relative to its slot for bladed
systems. Use switchShow for a listing of valid ports.

--enable

Enables NPIV on the specified port. This command can be executed only in
switch mode.

--disable

Disables NPIV on the specified port. This command can be executed only in
switch mode.

--setloginlimit login_limit

Sets the maximum number of allowed logins for the specified port. This command
can be executed both in switch mode and Access Gateway mode. Valid values for
login_limit are 0 to 255. The default value is 126.

--help

Displays the command usage.

mode

Enables or disables NPIV on the specified port. Specify 1 to enable or 0 to disable
the feature. The mode operand is a legacy command; it will be deprecated in a
future Fabric OS release.
