1. Introduction

Supported Platforms

457

Linux operating systems, Emulex recommends using linlpcfg (all lowercase) for the

Offline Adapter Management Utility commands (for example, ./linlpcfg listhba).
The Offline Adapter Management Utility commands require both:

One space between the command name and the first argument.

One space between additional arguments.

Note: Do not put a space before or after the equal sign within an argument.

WWN values are reported and specified with two 4-byte hexadecimal words – WWN

word 0 (w0) and WWN word 1 (w1). Concatenate the w0 and w1 values to make the

full WWN.
For detailed information on using the command line interface, see chapter 3., “Adapter

Management Utility Command Line Interface,” on page 467 and chapter 4., “Offline

Adapter Management Utility Command Line Interface,” on page 484.

Supported Platforms

The online and offline applications can be used on Windows and Linux, or as a

standalone utility for Window and Linux. FreeBSD supports Elxflash Offline.
For supported adapters, and supported versions of operating systems and platforms,
