1. Introduction
Overview
The OneCommand™ Manager Command Line Interface (CLI) utility is a
comprehensive management utility for Emulex host bus adapters (HBAs), universal
converged network adapters (UCNAs, also called OneConnect adapters), and
converged fabric adapters (CFAs). The CLI provides support for commonly used
commands without requiring installation of the OneCommand Manager graphical user
interface (GUI). The OneCommand Manager CLI console application name is
HbaCmd. A single operation is performed by entering “hbacmd”, followed by a CLI
client command and its possible parameters, at the command line.
Compatibility
The OneCommand Manager application can be installed on multiple operating
systems: Windows, Linux, Solaris, and VMware ESXi.
For VMware ESXi hosts, you can manage adapters using the OneCommand Manager
application on Windows, but you must install and use the appropriate Emulex CIM
Provider on those VMware hosts.
Note: For VMware ESXi hosts, when advanced adapter management capabilities are
required (for example, iSCSI Management and port disable), use the
OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter software plug-in. For more
details, see the OneCommand Manager for VMware vCenter User Manual.
For supported versions of operating systems, platforms, and adapters, see the Emulex
website.
