1. Introduction
The Emulex
®
OneCommand TM Manager application is a comprehensive management
utility for Emulex host bus adapters (HBAs), universal converged network adapters
(UCNAs), and converged fabric adapters (CFAs) that provides a powerful, centralized
adapter management suite. Adapter management includes discovery, reporting and
management of local and remote adapters from a single console anywhere in the
Storage Area Network (SAN) and across operating system platforms. Remote
configuration capability is provided by Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) access from IP addresses of remote machines. The OneCommand
Manager application contains a graphical user interface (GUI) and a command line
interface (CLI). Refer to the OneCommand Manager Command Line Interface Version 10.2
User Manual for information about installing and using the CLI.
Compatibility
The OneCommand Manager application can be installed on multiple operating
systems: Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
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.
Note: For VMware ESXi hosts, when advanced adapter management capabilities are
required (for example, iSCSI Management and port disable), use the
OneCommand Manager application 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.
