Emulex OCManager CLI 5.0

Emulex OCManager CLI is a command-line utility for discovering, configuring, updating, and monitoring Emulex Fibre Channel HBAs and Converged Network Adapters. It provides the scriptable, automation-friendly counterpart to the OneCommand Manager GUI, enabling administrators to manage adapters locally or at scale across servers and operating systems.

Key capabilities:

• Inventory and health: list adapters and ports, link state, WWNs, driver/firmware versions, and statistics.
• Configuration: set adapter parameters, boot-from-SAN options, port speed/topology, and (where supported) virtual ports/NPIV.
• Updates and maintenance: apply firmware and boot code updates, capture logs, and run diagnostics.
• Automation: execute repeatable, non-interactive workflows for provisioning and change management.
• Cross-platform support: commonly available for major Linux distributions, Windows, and hypervisors (availability varies by release).

Typical use cases include SAN provisioning, large-scale host onboarding, troubleshooting link issues, and enforcing standardized adapter settings. Prerequisites usually include compatible drivers/agents and administrative privileges.

Emulex OCManager CLI is developed by Emulex. The most popular version of this product among our users is 5.0. The name of the program executable file is elxcfg.exe.
