fcnsq - Fibre Channel Name Server Query Tool
Contents
Description
The fcnsq command performs Fibre Channel Name Server queries for a user-specified FC Host. The supported
name server query commands include: Get Port Name (GPN), Get Node Name (GNN), Get Symbolic Node Name
(GSNN), and Get Symbolic Port Name (GSPN) as described in FC-GS-3 for the Common Transport (CT) services.
fcnsq takes the host bsg name as the input for the target host. Host bsg name must be a valid bsg device,
e.g., "host12" as derived from /dev/bsg/fc_host12. For each name server query command, the argument is
either a Port ID or a World Wide Port Name. Port IDs and World Wide Names must be specified in
hexadecimal. To disable verbose output, use the --quiet option.
Examples
Query Get Port Name (GPN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027
fcnsq host12 --gpn bf0027
Query Get Node Name (GNN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027
fcnsq host12 --gnn bf0027
Query Get Symbolic Port Name (GSPN) from host12 for Port ID 0xbf0027
