CMMode

This command enables or disables channel management mode on OCe10100- and

OCe11100-series adapters. For UMC configurations, the UMCEnable command can still

be used to enable UMC only.
This command also sets the channel management type at the adapter level. A system

reboot is required for the change take effect.

Note: For OCe14000 series adapters, you must set the mctype parameter in the

SetAdapterPortConfig command to enable multichannel; including NPar. See

If you use the CMMode command on an OCe14000 series adapter, an error

message is displayed indicating the command is not supported by the firmware

or hardware.

hbacmd CMMode

Parameters

Example

>hbacmd CMMode 00-00-c9-bb-cc-aa None

This example disables channel management on an adapter containing a NIC function

with a MAC address of 00-00-c9-bb-cc-aa.

CMSetBW

This command sets the minimum and maximum bandwidths for each channel on the

physical port. For UMC/SIMode configurations, this command can also be used to

disable a channel's logical link by setting both the min and max bandwidths to 0. To

bring the logical link back up (enable), specify a non-zero value for the minimum and

maximum bandwidth.
If you are using NPar, setting the minimum bandwidth to zero does not bring the

logical link down on the NPar function or prevent the NPar function from receiving or

transmitting a small amount of network traffic.

WWPN

WWPN of an FCoE function on the physical port.

MAC

MAC address of any NIC function on the physical adapter port.

None

Specify “None” to disable channel management or a channel.

Type

Management type (see “CMGetParams”) to enable channel management.
