How to configure Emulex adapter settings from the command line?

[Jae_Ellers]

Hi All,

Anyone played with the emulex diagnostic utility dfc enough to understand how to set the topology?

We have a policy of point-to-point only (0x4) and I am sure I can set this for both hbas but can't find a word of support from Emulex. Of course the utility says "Do not run this utility unless instructed by Emulex Technical Support" but that shouldn't stop us.

This is the only setting I have to go into the Emulex utility to set manually.

just use the esxcfg-module command:

esxcfg-module -q

copy the module name for the emulex HBA

esxcfg-module -s "lpfc_topology=0x4" <modulename>

esxcfg-boot -b

reboot
