Changing Non-dynamic Parameter Values (Linux 8.2)
To change non-dynamic parameter values for Linux version 8.2:
1. Navigate to the /usr/sbin/ocmanager directory and run the scripts to stop the
OneCommand Manager application processes. Type:
./stop_ocmanager
2. Stop all I/O to LPFC attached devices.
3. Unload the LPFC driver. Type:
modprobe -r lpfc
4. Reload the driver. Type:
modprobe lpfc
5. If DHCHAP authentication is currently employed on this machine, start up the
Emulex FC authentication service. Type:
/etc/init.d/fcauthd start
6. Start the elxhbamgr service (remote service). Type:
./start_ocmanager
The OneCommand Manager application discovery service starts automatically
when you launch the application.
Note: If DHCHAP authentication is currently employed on Emulex adapters on
this machine, you must type “/etc/init.d/fcauthd start” to restart the
authentication daemon.
If the machine has the OneCommand Manager application Web Launch Interface
installed, the RMI services must be restarted. Type:
./start_weblaunch
Note: For changes to persist after a reboot, you must create a new ramdisk image.
Refer to the Emulex Driver for Linux User Manual for more information.
Creating a Batch Mode Driver Parameters File
You can apply driver parameters for one adapter to other adapters in the system using
the Driver Parameters tab. When you define parameters for an adapter, you create a
.dpv file. The .dpv file contains parameters for that adapter. After you create the .dpv
file, the OneCommand Manager application enables you to assign the .dpv file
parameters to multiple adapters in the system. (Not available in read-only mode.)
To create the .dpv file:
1. Select Host or Fabric view.
2. Select the adapter port whose parameters you want to apply to other adapters from
the discovery-tree.
3. Select the Driver Parameters tab.
4. Set the driver parameters.
5. After you define the parameters for the selected adapter, click Apply.
