iocard

The iocard command adds, resets, removes, and displays available I/O line card information in the system. The virtualization switch supports up to 12 I/O cards, while the leaf switch supports only one I/O card. You can configure vHBAs on a virtualization switch, but not on a leaf switch.

Syntax

add iocard {slot|wildcard} card-type [–noconfirm]
remove iocard {*|slot}
remove iocard {*|slot} vhbas [–noconfirm]
remove iocard {*|slot} vnics [–noconfirm]
set iocard {*|slot} clear-stats [–descr=text] [–fabric-mtu=mtu] [–type=card-type]
set iocard {*|slot} reset [–descr=text] [–fabric-mtu=mtu] [–type=card-type]
show iocard
show iocard *
show iocard {slot|wildcard}
show iocard {slot|wildcard} alarms

where:

• card-type is the type of I/O card you are adding or configuring. For example, gwEthernet4Port10GbCard.

• slot is the physical slot number.

• port is the physical port number.

This hardware command has subcommands that determine its functionality. This table describes the subcommands and provides their syntax.

Subcommand Description alarms Displays alarms for the I/O card. clear-stats Clears the statistics of the I/O card. cpu Displays CPU information. dmsg Displays base OS messages for the I/O card. errors Displays I/O card errors. ioport Displays information for a specific ioport for the I/O card. ioports Displays information for all ioports for the I/O card. reset Resets an I/O card. This subcommand removes the card's power, restores the power after a few seconds, and then rediscovers the card's settings. The set iocard reset command resets only I/O modules that are located in slots 0-11. This command does not reset switches that are in the embedded slot. stats Displays statistics for the I/O card. type Specifies the type of card. vhbas Removes vHBAs connected to the I/O card. vnics Displays or removes vNICs connected to the I/O card. warnings Displays warning alarms for a specific I/O card.

These commands are supported on I/O cards only. The front panel, SCP, and IB fabric board are not affected.

Options

Option Description –descr Applies a text description to the I/O card. Use quotes if there are multiple words containing spaces in the description. –detail An optional modifier that displays detailed information (if available) for the I/O card. –fabric-mtu Displays the MTU of the card's fabric. –noconfirm The process completes without prompting you for confirmation. The argument automatically answers yes to any prompts. –type The type of I/O card. For example, gwEthernet4Port10GbCard.

Reset an I/O Card

This example shows how to reset I/O card 2 and view the results.

[OFOS] set iocard 2 reset
Resetting IO cards will adversely affect any virtual IO resource connected to them and
thus cut I/O to the physical servers.  Are you sure you want to reset the IO card in
slot 2 (y/n)? y

[OFOS] remove iocard 3
This may disrupt traffic on all physical server that happen to be using the IO card.

Example: Remove a VHBA on an I/O Card

This example shows how to remove all vHBAs connected to the I/O card in slot 2.
