CLI Guide

Syntax To set FC port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[fibre-connection-mode loop|point-to-point|auto]
[fibre-loop-id values]
[noprompt]
[ports ports|all]
[prompt yes|no|expert]
[speed 4g|8g|16g|auto]
To set iSCSI port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[default-router address]
[gateway address]
[ip address]
[iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6]
[netmask address]
[noprompt]
[ports ports|all]
[prompt yes|no|expert]
Parameters
[controller a|b|both]
Deprecated—use the ports parameter instead
[fibre-connection-mode loop|point-to-point|auto]
Optional. For FC, sets the topology for the specified ports to:
• loop: Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (public or private). Loop mode cannot be used with 16-Gbit/s link
speed.
• point-to-point: Fibre Channel point-to-point. This is the default.
• auto: Automatically sets the mode based on the detected connection type
You must also specify the ports parameter.
[fibre-loop-id values]
Optional. For FC, specifies comma-separated loop ID values to request for host ports when controllers
arbitrate during a LIP. Use this option if you want ports to have specific addresses, if your system checks
addresses in reverse order (lowest address first), or if an application requires that specific IDs be assigned to
recognize the controller. If the loop ID is changed for one port, the same ID is used for other ports in the
same controller. If the ports parameter is specified, loop IDs are set based on the controllers that the ports
are in. You cannot specify the same value for ports on different controllers.
• soft or 255: Soft target addressing enables the LIP to determine the loop ID. Use this setting if the loop
ID is permitted to change after a LIP or power cycle.
• 0–125: Specify a hard target address if you do not want the loop ID to change after a LIP or power
cycle. If the port cannot acquire the specified ID, it is assigned a soft target address
You must restart affected controllers to make loop ID changes take effect.
[default-router address]
Optional. For iSCSI IPv6 only, the default router for the port IP address. This parameter requires the ports
parameter.
[gateway address]
Optional. For iSCSI, the port gateway address. This parameter requires the ports parameter.
