Parameters
- -delim delimiter
- (Optional) Specify a delimiter to separate data in the output.

Description
This command returns a list of unconfigured, logged in FC ports.
Note: The lsfcportcandidate command
presents a list of host FC ports that are logged in to nodes. However,
there are situations when the information that is presented might
include host FC ports that are no longer logged in or even part of
the SAN fabric. For example, if a host FC port is unplugged from a
switch but lsfcportcandidate shows the worldwide
port name (WWPN) that is logged in to all nodes, the incorrect entry
is removed when another device is plugged in to the same switch port
that previously contained the removed host FC port.
Table 1 shows the possible output:
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| fc_WWPN | Indicates that the FC WWPN is logged in but unconfigured (not assigned to a host). This value must be 16 hexadecimal characters. |
