3 Getting Started
The 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).
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 4 NIC Noninteractive Commands
Chapter 5 Fibre Channel Noninteractive Commands
Chapter 6 iSCSI Noninteractive Commands
To start the noninteractive QConvergeConsole CLI in Windows
1
or Linux, open an
operating system shell, and then type commands with 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.
