-SHOW ADAPTER Command
The HBA configuration can be displayed with the command (see Figures 3-1
and 3-2):
WWIDMGR-SHOW ADAPTER
P00>>>wwidmgr-show adapter
Item adapter WWN Cur. Topo Next Topo
kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 – Nvram read failed
[0] kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 1000-0000-c921-0c22 fabric unavail
kgpsab0.0.0.8.6 – Nvram read failed
[1] kgpsab0.0.0.8.6 1000-0000-c921-027a loop unavail
[9999] All of the above.
Figure 3-1. – SHOW ADAPTER with an unformatted NVRAM
In Figure 3-1, note the warning message “ Nvram Read Failed.” This indicates
that the NVRAM on the HBA has not been initialized and formatted. This is
expected and can be corrected by issuing a – SET ADAPTER command as
described in the next section.
LP00>>>wwidmgr-show adapter
Item adapter WWN Cur. Topo Next Topo
[0] kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 1000-0000-c921-05ab fabric fabric
[1] kgpsab0.0.0.8.6 1000-0000-c921-0ce0 fabric fabric
[9999] All of the above.
Figure 3-2. – SHOW ADAPTER display
Figure 3-2 shows a display from WWIDMGR-SHOW ADAPTER where there
are two HBAs in the system. See the following for a detailed look at a line
item:
[0] kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 1000-0000-c921-05ab fabric fabric
■ [0] − Item Number. The bracketed value is used as a parameter to the
–item qualifier in the WWIDMGR-SET ADAPTER command. You can
select which HBA to configure by its item number. An item number of
9999 selects all HBAs.
■ Kgpsaa0.0.0.4.6 − Adapter Mnemonic. Error messages and displays use
this identifier.
■ 1000-0000-c920-05ab − WWN of the HBA. This value is used to
identify the HBA to other nodes on the fibre channel link.
