The lshbaportcandidate command lists all of the unconfigured, logged-in host bus adapter (HBA) ports. This information is used to find open HBA ports.
Syntax
>>- svcinfo -- -- lshbaportcandidate -- --+----------+-- -------> '- -nohdr -' >--+-----------------------+----------------------------------->< '- -delim -- delimiter -'
Parameters
- -nohdr
- (Optional) By default, headings are displayed for each column of data
in a concise style view, and for each item of data in a detailed style view.
The -nohdr parameter suppresses the display of these
headings.Note: If there is no data to be displayed, headings are not displayed.
- -delim delimiter
- (Optional) By default in a concise view, all columns of data are space-separated. The width of each column is set to the maximum possible width of each item of data. In a detailed view, each item of data has its own row, and if the headers are displayed the data is separated from the header by a space. The -delim parameter overrides this behavior. Valid input for the -delim parameter is a one-byte character. If you enter -delim : on the command line, the colon character (:) separates all items of data in a concise view; for example, the spacing of columns does not occur. In a detailed view, the data is separated from its header by the specified delimiter.
Description
This command returns a list of unconfigured, logged in HBA ports.
Note: The svcinfo
lshbaportcandidate command presents a list of host HBA ports that are
logged in to nodes. However, there are situations when the information that
is presented might include host HBA ports that are no longer logged in or
even part of the SAN fabric. For example, a host HBA port is unplugged from
a switch but svcinfo lshbaportcandidate still shows the WWPN that is
logged in to all nodes. If this occurs, the incorrect entry is removed when
another device is plugged in to the same switch port that previously contained
the removed host HBA port.
