DESCRIPTION

The following attributes can be modified without the assistance of Oracle Customer Support:

The display number
The informational comment string
The partner Controller assignments
The port provisioning settings
The link aggregation settings

Contact Oracle Customer Support for assistance with changing the service type setting.

CAUTION

Changing the display number, the partner Controller assignment, or the service type results in an immediate system shut down and restart.

Note: Only administrators with primary administrator or admin1 roles are authorized to run controller ‑modify command.

OPTIONS

‑acceptHardwareProvisioning

Specifies that the ports on the network interface HBA cards are automatically provisioned with the appropriate protocol when the Controller is powered up. The system selects the appropriate protocol when it detects a Fibre Channel (FC)or an Ethernet connector. If the system detects a FC connection, it provisions the port as FC. If the system detects an Ethernet connection, it provisions the port as iSCSI. The service type of the Controller must be SAN, biased for SAN, or biased for NAS for the network interface HBA card to be detected and provisioned.

‑aggregate

Specifies that all ports on the HBA will appear as one port on the network. If this option is not provided, the default is to aggregate.

‑buddyController

Specifies the fully qualified name (FQN) or unique identifier (ID) of the Controller to configure as the partner Controller.

‑comment

Specifies a string of 256 characters that further identifies the Controller.

‑controller

Specifies the fully qualified name (FQN) or unique identifier (ID) of the Controller to modify.

‑displayNumber

Specifies the number that is displayed on the outside of the Controller. Values range from 01 to 99 and A0 to FF. The display number is included in the fully qualified name (FQN) of the Controller.

‑linkAggregation

Indicates that the individual HBA ports are linked and their combined throughput is presented to the network as a single port. Only two ports on a given HBA card can be link aggregated. Specify the following syntax for each set of ports to link aggregate:

-linkAggregation ( -slot hba-slot[ {-aggregate | -noAggregate} ][-priority aggregationPriority])
-linkAggregation ( -slot hba-slot[ {-aggregate | -noAggregate} ][-priority aggregationPriority])

Note: Depending on your operating system, you might have to escape the parentheses to use this option.

‑noAggregate

Reverses the link aggregation configuration that was previously set for the network interface HBA ports. Presents the ports as individual ports to the network.

‑port

Specifies a port number on the network interface HBA card to provision.

‑priority

Specifies the priority for the link aggregation operation. Values range from 0 to 65535. Higher values indicate a lower priority. The value is used by the Oracle FS System as part of the link identity. If you do not specify a priority, the default value is 60000.

‑provision

Specifies the provisioning protocol for the specified HBA port. Values are fc for the fiber channel ports and iScsi for the iSCSI ports. The Oracle FS System automatically provisions Ethernet ports.

‑provisionPort

Provisions a specific HBA port. Specify the following syntax for each port: ‑provisionPort ( ‑slot slot ‑port port ‑provision {fc | iscsi} )

Note: Depending on your operating system, you might have to escape the parentheses to use this option.

‑serviceType

Specifies the type of protocol support the Oracle FS System provides. Valid values: san, nas, sanBias, or nasBias. The correct Service Type for your system is specified on the Sales Order and the System Customer Information Documents and should not be changed. If the installed hardware in the Controllers does not allow the changed Service Type, the system will not boot. Modify the service type only as instructed by Oracle Customer Support.

This option can only be used on Controllers that do not have a Service Type. After you change the Service Type, you must then run the haltpoint ‑resume command to resume the system restart.

‑slot

Specifies the slot number for the HBA card to provision. If this option is provided with the ‑linkAggregation option, the slot number specifies the HBA card to link aggregate.

EXAMPLE

Task

Change the display number of a Controller.

Parameters

The name of the Controller preceded by a forward slash: /⁠CONTROLLER-00
The new display number: 05

$ fscli controller ‑modify  ‑controller /⁠CONTROLLER-00 ‑displayNumber 05
