For example, either:

or

returns a response similar to the following:

Resetting an Adapter (reset)

This command resets a specific adapter or all adapters in the system.
Syntax:
To reset one adapter, type

oslpcfg reset n=<adapter number>

To reset all adapters in the system, type

oslpcfg reset n=all

Running the Power-On Self-Test (posttest)

This command runs the POST on the selected adapter.
To run the adapter POST test, type

oslpcfg posttest n=<all/adapter number>

The following example runs the POST test on adapter #1.

Viewing Adapter Information

Viewing Emulex Conventional Names Instead of VPD (- /c)

Adding

/c

to any command that uses the

a=

parameter to return adapter data causes

the command to return an Emulex conventional model for the adapter rather than the

model name in the adapter. /c can be used for any command that displays the model

name. For instance, the following commands use the a= parameter and show this

behavior.

config

download

directdownload

Note: The offline utility does not always display the model name of the adapter being

tested.

download <n=adapter> <i=imagepath>

or

download <a=adaptertype> <i=imagepath>
