Is there any vCLI command or tool available on Linux to add PCI Passthrough FC HBA to a VM.
On the other hand, powering on of VM after adding the FC HBA using PowerCLI(on Windows system) is also failing….Whereas same is working when adding the FC HBA using GUI.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

PowerCLI C:\> get-vmhost rmc.cnas.com | get-passthroughdevice | Where {$_.VendorName -match "Emulex"} | add-PassThroughDevice -VM susrmc1gen8
