Troubleshooting Linux

For troubleshooting Linux driver-related information, check the var/log/messages file. If the qla2xxx
driver detects any fabric or driver events, the information about these events reside in this file.
Description
Displays the Edit Adapter Settings menu.
Displays the Edit Advanced Settings menu.
Displays the Edit Database screen.
Displays the Edit Boot Settings menu.
Displays the contents of the world wide name (WWN) database in table
form.
Displays the SCSI target ID translation table. This table is a list of SCSI
TID and Fibre Channel loop id mapping pairs. Each entry in the table
consists of the following information about each device:
• SCSI id (TID)
• Fibre channel loop id (LID)
• World wide port name (WWPN)
• World wide node name (WWNN)
All numbers are in hexadecimal.
Tid values from 0x00 to 0x0A are persistent, and TID values greater
than 0x0A are assigned sequentially as devices are discovered. Tid
values greater than 0x80 are fabric-attached while those below 0x7F
are arbitrated-loop-attached.
Displays the contents of the local NVRAM buffer in hexadecimal. This
is the local buffer containing changes made prior to using the Write
selection to commit them to the HBA's NVRAM.
Displays the following HBA information:
• EFI device path
• Port WWPN
• Serial number
• SSVID and SSDID from NVRAM
Use the device path to determine which HBA configuration is displayed.
Displays a brief description of the menu selections.
Abandons the changes in the current Configuration protocol local buffer
and reloads its contents from the HBA's NVRAM.
Writes the current Configuration protocol local buffer to the HBA's
NVRAM. Use this function any time you use a menu selection to modify
configuration data. When the NVRAM has been successfully written, the
Configuration protocol local buffer is reloaded from the HBA's NVRAM.
Quits the Configuration protocol and returns to the EFI shell. You must use
the Write selection to write any changes to the HBA's NVRAM before
quitting.
