Getting Started
QConvergeConsole CLI manages iSCSI, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel functions
on QLogic Fibre Channel Adapters, Intelligent Ethernet Adapters, and Converged
Network Adapters. This chapter describes how to start the QConvergeConsole
CLI using the noninteractive mode (command line interface) and the interactive
mode (menu-driven interface), as well as how to get help.
“Using Interactive Mode” on page 3-2
Using Noninteractive Mode
Noninteractive mode is a command line interface that executes a command and
its parameters, and then terminates. Use the noninteractive mode to run
QConvergeConsole CLI from a script file or when you want to perform a single
operation. This guide describes the noninteractive mode commands by function in
the following chapters:
Chapter 5 NIC Noninteractive Commands
Chapter 6 Fibre Channel Noninteractive Commands
Chapter 7 iSCSI Noninteractive Commands
Chapter 8 NIC Partitioning (NPAR) Noninteractive Commands
To start the noninteractive QConvergeConsole CLI in Windows
1
or Linux, open an
operating system shell, and then type a command with one or more command line
switches. For specific command formats, refer to the chapter for the
corresponding adapter function. For example, to discover iSCSI ports on a
Converged Network Adapter, issue the following command:
qaucli -pr iscsi -i
QConvergeConsole CLI is case-sensitive. In addition, file names in some
operating systems are case-sensitive; in this case, QConvergeConsole CLI is
case-sensitive for that specific file.

For Windows 2008 or later, use administrator mode.
