You can use the emxmgr utility interactively to perform any of
the previous functions.

6.8.2 Using the emxmgr Utility Interactively

Start the emxmgr utility without any command-line options to enter the
interactive mode to:

Display the presence of KGPSA Fibre Channel adapters

Display the target ID mappings for a Fibre Channel adapter

Display the current Fibre Channel topology for a Fibre Channel adapter

You have already seen how you can perform these functions from the
command line. The same output is available using the interactive mode by
selecting the appropriate option (shown in the following example).

When you start the emxmgr utility with no command-line options, the
default device used is the first Fibre Channel adapter it finds. If you want to
perform functions for another adapter, you must change the targeted adapter
to the correct adapter. For instance, if emx0 is present, when you start the
emxmgr

interactively, any commands executed to display information will

provide the information for emx0.

Notes

______________________

The emxmgr has an extensive help facility in the interactive mode.

Option 3, "Change Target ID Mappings" is a hold-over from the
Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0F product and has no use in the Tru64
UNIX Version 5.1 product. Do not use this option.

An example using the emxmgr in the interactive mode follows:

# emxmgr
