Fabric Manager Users Guide, Version 6.1, Revision A - QLogic

6–Installation and Set Up
Installing the Host-based Fabric Manager on Linux
status
Show status (running, not running, or disable) for the selected
instances/managers.
By default, start, stop, restart, reload, sweep, and status
simultaneously controls all instances of all QLogic Fabric Manager
components and managers.
-i instance
This option can be specified multiple times and indicates that only specific
instances (as configured in the qlogic_fm.xml configuration file) are to be
started or stopped. This value should be an integer value greater than or equal to
0. Without this option, all instances are acted on.
-f
When used with start, this option forces a manager to start even if it already
appears to be running.
component/compname/insname
This option can be specified more than once and can be any of the following:
• A component:
sm – Subnet manager
fe – Fabric executive
• A compname:
A specific component/manager name such as fm0_sm or fm1_fe
(manager names are formed by combining an instance name and one
of the manager names listed previously, separated by an underscore).
• An insname:
A specific instance name such as fm0 or fm1 (instance names are
defined in the Fm.Name parameter in the configuration file).
When -i is used, only the specified components in the instance are started. The
-i option can be specified more than once to select multiple instances.
When a compname is specified, that component is started (regardless of -i).
When an insname is specified, all components of that instance are started.
If components are specified, then all components in selected instances are
started.
If no arguments are specified, all instances are acted on.
