Command Syntax
In all cases, the commands are given with the prefix os. When you enter any command,
you must replace the os with either:


win – for the WinPE Offline Adapter Management Utility commands for use on
WinPE machines.
./lin – for the Linux Offline Adapter Management Utility commands for use on
Linux and FreeBSD machines.
The Offline Adapter Management Utility commands are not case-sensitive, nor are
their arguments. You can enter them in upper, lower, or mixed case. However, for
Linux operating systems, Emulex recommends using linlpcfg (all lowercase) for the
Offline Adapter Management Utility commands (for example, ./linlpcfg listhba).
The Offline Adapter Management Utility commands require both:


One space between the command name and the first argument.
One space between additional arguments.
Note: Do not put a space before or after the equal sign within an argument.
WWN values are reported and specified with two 4-byte hexadecimal words – WWN
word 0 (w0) and WWN word 1 (w1). Concatenate the w0 and w1 values to make the
full WWN.
