na_fcvi - Commands for managing Fibre Channel Virtual Interface adapters and the FCVI protocol

SYNOPSIS

fcvi command argument ...

DESCRIPTION

The fcvi family of commands manages the Fibre Channel Virtual Interface adapters and the FCVI protocol. These commands can be used to ping a remote FC port and to list all the logged in ports.

USAGE

fcvi ping adapter address

Sends an ECHO ELS frame from the Fibre Channel Virtual Interface adapter to the specified address location. The address is a Fibre Channel port identifier 0xXXXXXX where X is a hexadecimal value or a Fibre Channel world wide port name of the form XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a hexadecimal value. This command will send at-most three ELS ECHO frames one per second and prints one line of output for every response it receives and computes the round-trip time and frame loss statistics. The frame size will be 64 bytes. The payload will carry special pattern to verify the signal integrity of the Fibre Channel connection.
