Introduction
The SANsurfer FC HBA CLI application provides a command line interface (CLI) that lets you easily install, configure, and deploy QLogic Fibre Channel (FC) host bus adapters (HBAs). It also provides robust diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities and useful statistical information to optimize SAN performance. This application can only configure HBAs on the local machine upon which the application is installed.
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI is a simplified, condensed version of the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager GUI.
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI can be operated in two modes:
Interactive Mode
Do one of the following to start SANsurfer FC HBA CLI in interactive mode:
or
NOTE: When starting SANsurfer FC HBA CLI on a Solaris console serial port
connection, the application may be slow to launch. To resolve this issue,
specify the INT flag, as shown above.
Here is a sample:
Non-interactive Mode
Type the following in a command window to start SANsurfer FC HBA CLI in
non-interactive mode:
SANsurfer FC HBA CLI executes the command options, then terminates.
To list all of the available command line parameters and the SANsurfer FC HBA CLI

SANsurfer FC HBA CLI can be operated in two modes:
- ■ Interactive mode (menu-driven interface). This mode requires user intervention.
■ Non-interactive mode (command line interface). Use this mode for scripting orwhen you want to perform a single operation.
