rebooted. After rebooting, the changes are applied and appear in the Current

Resetting an FC/FCoE Port
Caution: Do not reset your adapter port while copying or writing files. This could
result in data loss or corruption.
Note: While resetting a port on OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter, do not
perform any active management operations on the ESXi host.
Note: For FCoE ports, a reset is only necessary to activate changed driver parameters
or FIP settings. It does not actually perform an adapter level reset of the port.
When changing WWN configuration on OneCommand Manager for VMware
vCenter, do not perform any active management operations on the ESXi host.
To reset an FC port:
1. Select a host in the vSphere console tree-view and select the Emulex OneCommand
tab.
2. In the Emulex Device Management tree-view, select the FC port you want to reset.
3. Select the Maintenance tab (Figure 6-9).
4. Click Reset.
5. The following warning appears:
Figure 6-21 Reset Port Warning
Click Yes. The adapter port resets. The reset can require several seconds to
complete. While the adapter port is resetting, the message “Operation is in
progress” is displayed. When the reset is finished, the message “Reset Port
Completed” is displayed.
