Using the emlxadm Utility
The emlxadm utility is intended to be a direct user interface to the Fibre Channel input/output (FCIO)
interface provided by the Sun StorEdge SFS. The FCIO interface provides a Sun common ioctl interface
to the FCTL, which manages the FCA drivers for each Fibre Channel HBA attached to the host system.
Modes of Operation (emlxadm)
The emlxadm utility program can be run in two modes:
• Interactive
• Command line interface (CLI)
Interactive Mode (emlxadm)
The emlxadm utility program can be run in an interactive command mode by typing the name of the
program without any command line arguments:
# emlxadm
After it is started, the emlxadm program scans the host system and prepares a list of qualified HBA ports
to choose from. Qualified HBA ports are devices that attach to the SUN StorEdge SFS through the FP
driver. After the list is prepared, the utility displays the following:

Available HBA's:
1. /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,qlc@3/fp@0,0:devctl (CONNECTED)
2. /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,qlc@3,1/fp@0,0:devctl (NOT CONNECTED)
3. /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl (CONNECTED)
4. /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2,1/fp@0,0:devctl (NOT CONNECTED)
Enter an HBA number or zero to exit:
You must choose from one of the available HBAs in the list by entering the appropriate number. In this
example, if you enter 2, the utility displays the HBA device name selected and presents a list of
command options:
HBA: /devices/pci@1e,600000/SUNW,emlxs@2/fp@0,0:devctl
