Change a Module's Configuration

To change the configuration or properties of a module that is in use, use this procedure. This procedure uses the CLI.

1. Display the installed modules and the I/O card slots.

   [OFOS] show iocard
   slot         state     descr     type                        v-resources
   ------------------------------------------------------------------------
   1            up/up               sanFc2Port16GbCard          1
   2            up/up               gwEthernet4Port40GbCard     0
   4            up/up               gwEthernet4Port10GbCard     0
   5            up/up               ibSlm8Port100GbCard         0
   7            up/up               sanFc2Port16GbCard          0
   embedded     up/up               spineIb4Gw2PortCard         0
   6 records displayed

2. Display the properties for the card you want to change.

   [OFOS] show iocard 7
   ---------------------------
   slot     7
   state    up/up
   descr
   type     sanFc2Port16GbCard
   vhbas    1
   qos      
   enables  -
   ---------------------------
   1 record displayed

   ---

   Note -  The FC card requires a vHBA, while other cards use a vNIC.

   ---

3. Change the properties for the card, or the port information on an FC card.

   Use this command to change the length of the timeout for the FC link on an FC card. The default timeout is 30 seconds. Enter a value between 0 and 60 seconds. For example, enter a timeout value of 25 seconds for port 7/1:

   [OFOS] set fc-port 7/1 -fc-link-down-timeout=25

   For example, to change the description for any type of card:

   [OFOS] set fc-card 7 -desc=West

4. Verify the changes to the module.

   Verify the description that you entered in Step 3:

   [OFOS] show iocard 7
   ----------------------------
   slot     7
   state    up/up
   descr    West
   type     sanFc2Port16GbCard
   vhbas    1
   qos      
   enables  -
   ----------------------------
   1 record displayed

   Verify the new fc-link-down-timeout value that you entered in Step 3:

   [OFOS] show fc-port 7/1 -detail
   ----------------------------------------------------
   name                         7/1
   type                         sanFc16GbPort
   state                        up/up

   Tip  -  You can also use the set fc-port command to change the topology of a FC port:

   • f-port – Specifies a point-to-point connection to the storage device through a FC switch. This type of connection supports NPIV. This is the default configuration for a FC module.
   • l-port – Specifies a loop connection to the storage device without using a FC switch. this type of connection does not support NPIV. A port configured this way can support only a single vHBA.
   • n-port – Specifies a point-to-point connection to the storage device without using a FC switch. This type of connection supports NPIV.

   For instructions, see the Oracle Fabric OS 1.0.1 Command Reference.
