Executing a Diagnostic Test with an Emulex FC Adapter
To execute a diagnostic test with an FC adapter:
1. Get the instance of the managed element (ELXHBA_PortController). For example:
wbemcli -noverify ein
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:elxhba_portcontroller’
-nl
2. Get the instance of the ELXHBA_FCHBADiagnostictest class. For example:
wbemcli -noverify ein
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:elxhba_diagnostictest’
-nl
3. Invoke the method RunDiagnosticservice on the ELXHBA_FCHBADiagnostictest.
For example:
wbemcli -noverify cm
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:
instance from step 2>’
RunDiagnosticservice.ManagedElement=
from step 1>’
4. A CIM_ConcreteJob instance is created for each diagnostic test run. For example:
wbemcli -noverify ein
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:elxhba_concretejob’
-nl
5. Results of the diagnostic test runs are available in
ELXHBA_DiagnosticCompletionRecord class instances. For example:
wbemcli -noverify ein
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:elxhba_diagnosticcompl
etionrecord’ -nl
6. The diagnostic logs can be cleared using the ClearLog function of
ELXHBA_DiagnosticsLog class. For example:
wbemcli -noverify cm
‘https://root:@/root/emulex:
Diagnostic log instance>’ ClearLog
Discovering vNICs Using the Emulex CIM Provider
To Determine vNICs Using the UCNA CIM Provider
1. Find all the CIM_VLANEndpoint instances whose SystemName property has a
value equal to the name of the desired host. These instances are vNIC endpoints.
2. Find the CIM_EndpointIdentity instance associating the CIM_VLANEndpoint
instance to a CIM_LANEndpoint instance. Follow the association to the
CIM_LANEndpoint.
3. Find the instance of CIM_DeviceSAPImplementation instance that associates the
CIM_LANEndpoint to an instance of CIM_EthernetPort. Follow the associations to
the CIM_EthernetPort instance representing the vNIC.
