HP StorageWorks MSA 2/8 - SAN Switch Reference Manual page 339

Description: V4.1.x
Use this command to display information about SFPs.
Note:
Gb SAN switch use SFPs instead of GBICs. This command is now replaced by the
sfpshow command. The command is included in the current Fabric OS for backward
compatibility of scripts used by some customers.
SFPs are polled by a background process. The gbicshow command retrieves
the latest information from cache. The cache values for each SFP are updated
when the SFP is hot plugged, when it is removed, or when the Fabric OS polls the
SFPs. In the
poll updates may take several minutes.
Use this command with no operand to display a summary of all SFPs in the
switch. The summary shows the SFP type (see switchshow for an explanation
of the two letter codes) and, for Serial ID SFP, the vendor name and SFP serial
number.
Use this command with the slotnumber and portnumber operands to
display detailed information about the SFP in that port.

StorageWorks Core switch
Specify the slot number for a StorageWorks Core switch.
For all other switches this operand is not required. The slot
number must be followed by a slash ( / ) and the port
number, so that each port is represented by both slot
number (1 through 4, or 7 through 10), and port number
(0 through 15).
The StorageWorks Core switch has a total of 1–10 slots.
Slot number 5 and 6 are control processor cards, and slot
1 through 4, and 7 through 10, are port cards. On each
port card, there are 16 ports counted from the bottom, 0 to
15.
Specify a port number. Valid values for port number vary
depending on the switch type. This operand is optional.
