11. Using OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter Command Line Interface

The Command Reference

1371

The only choice for the f0 parameter is NIC. Choices for the f1–fm parameters

are None, iSCSI or FCoE (or NIC for multichannel configurations).

This command fails if you specify two storage protocols on a port and the

concurrent storage mode is not available.

This command fails if you specify three storage functions on a port.

This command failsif you specify two of the same storage functions on a port.

The number of functions (f) you can specify depend upon the adapter model

and the configuration type (for example, non-multi–channel, multichannel,

NPar, etc.). If you specify an incorrect number of functions, the command fails.

You can only specify NIC as the f0 parameter if no other f parameters are

specified. Also you cannot specify NIC with multichannel configurations.

The pid=profile_id option is required for NIC only configurations. It you

specify an incorrect number of functions, the command fails.

If the mctype parameter is specified, it must be an available multichannel type

(see CMGetParams command for available types) or set to None to disable

multichannel. If the mctype parameter is not specified, the currently configured

multichannel type (including None) remains unchanged.

If one or more functions are set to None and they are the last functions on a port,

they do not need to be specified (for example, p0=nic,iscsinone can be shortened

to p0=nic,iscsi).

You can only specify NParEPMode with the mctype-NPar parameter or when

the current configured MC type is NPar.

When you disable NPar (for example mctype=none), the NParEP Mode is

automatically disabled.You must reboot to activate a new port configuration.
