Channel Management Commands
These commands enable and disable channel management and set channel properties
for UCNAs. Channel management is not supported on LPe16202 adapters.
Each port on each adapter’s physical port can be partitioned into a maximum of four
isolated channels providing a converged conduit for network and storage traffic. Each
channel has its own unique MAC address. Depending on the type of channel
management in effect, each channel provides various traffic management and
provisioning capabilities, such as enabling and disabling, minimum and maximum
bandwidth, and VLAN ID (in UMC for untagged packets, also called the LPVID).
OCM allows the enabling and disabling of channel management and in the case of
UMC/SIMode, the setting of each channel’s properties. For the vNIC1 and UFP
channel management types, OCM will display the channel properties, but not allow
modification; except for vNIC1 where the LPVID (inner VLAN ID) can be modified.
Additionally, the OCe14000 series adapters support NPar. Use the
GetAdapterPortConfig and SetAdapterPortConfig command to manage NPar for these
adapters. See “GetAdapterPortConfig” on page 415 and “SetAdapterPortConfig” on
page 419.
Notes

For IBM adapters, UMC mode is referred to as “SIMode”.

SR-IOV is not supported with channel management.

There are OCM CLI commands for UMC management that are still available for
backward compatibility with existing UMC scripts. They cannot be used to
manage other channel management types. See “UMC Commands” on page 439
for information on UMC management.
CMGetParams
This command shows the current channel management configuration for an adapter’s
physical port.
Multichannel
When using multichannel, this command displays the adapter's active (booted)
multichannel state, the configured state, the configured channel management mode
(N/A if configured state is disabled), and the available channel management modes.
This is followed by a table showing the specified port's channel properties. The Type
column shows the protocol that is running on the channel. The output is different
depending upon the multichannel type.
