showvnics Command

Displays VNIC information.

Syntax

showvnics

Description

This hardware command displays VNICs and their parameters. The list of VNICs is in ascending order, with priority in this sequence:

• Connector number

• GUID

• State

• MAC address

This table describes each of the columns of the output.

Column Heading Description ID VNIC ID number. Roughly indicates creation sequence. STATE Logical state of the VNIC. Can be: Up Down Active Disabled FLG H – VNIC created by Host Manual Mode. N – VNIC created by Gateway Manual Mode. A – VNIC created by Gateway Automatic Mode. IOA_GUID The IO adapter's GUID, presented as eight colon-delimited hexadecimal pairs. Not to be confused with a MAC address. NODE Node description. Might also be a fully qualified hostname. IID Identifier assigned to the VNIC by the host. Not to be confused for the ID (VNIC ID). MAC VNIC MAC address. VLN VLAN identifier. A VLAN identifier of 0, -1, or NO indicates that there is no VLAN assigned. PKEY The combination of the P_Key and the P_Key membership bit. The P_Key membership bit is the most significant bit of the two-byte value assigned to the respective P_Key. To simplify, subtract 0x8000 from the value seen in the PKEY column to determine the actual P_Key value. For example: PKEY column value ffff - 0x8000 = P_Key 0x7fff GW Gateway connector. 0A-ETH-1 to 0A-ETH-4 and 1A-ETH-1 to 1A-ETH-4.

The showvnics command is available from the /SYS/Gateway_Mgmt and /SYS/Fabric_Mgmt Linux shell targets of the Oracle ILOM CLI interface.

Example

This example shows how to display the state of the VNICs with the showvnics command.
