vserver fcp create

Create FCP service configuration

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description​

This command creates an FCP service for a Vserver. An FCP service must be licensed before you can manage FCP services. If the FCP service is not licensed, the FCP command returns an error.

When you create an FCP service on a Vserver, the Vserver has the following configuration defaults:

  • The administrative status of the FCP service is up.

  • The FCP command automatically generates a unique World Wide Node Name (WWNN) unless you specify one.

The format for a WWNN is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a hexadecimal digit. When selecting a new WWNN, use the following format to fit with the registered names: 2X:XX:00:a0:98:XX:XX:XX where XX is some integral value. If your unique WWNN does not match this format, use the -f parameter. To modify a target-name, use the vserver fcp modify command. The default value is up.

Parameters​

-vserver <Vserver Name> - Vserver Name
Specifies the Vserver for the FCP service.
[-target-name <text>] - Target Name (privilege: advanced)
Specifies the World Wide Node Name (WWNN). The format for a WWNN is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX where X is a hexadecimal digit.
[-status-admin {down|up}] - Administrative Status
Specifies the administrative status of the FCP service of a Vserver. If you set this parameter to up, the FCP service will accept login requests from FCP initiators. If you set this parameter to down, FCP initiators will not be allowed to log in.
[-force | -f [true]] - Force (privilege: advanced)
Allows you to use a World Wide Node Name outside the Vendor's registered namespace. If you use this parameter without a value, it is set to true, and the command does not prompt you when the WWNN is outside the Vendor's registered namespace.
