[ip address]

Optional. For iSCSI, the port IP address. Ensure that each iSCSI host port in the storage system is assigned a

different IP address. This parameter requires the ports parameter.

[iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6]

Optional. Specifies whether to use IP version 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6) for addressing controller iSCSI ports. When

you change this setting, iSCSI-port address values are converted to the new format:

• ipv4: Lets you specify addresses in dot-decimal format, where the four octets of the address use

decimal values without leading zeroes and the octets are separated by a period. For example,

10.132.2.205. The first octet may not be zero, with the exception that 0.0.0.0 can be used to disable the

interface (stop I/O). This option is the default.

• ipv6: Lets you specify addresses using eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where the groups are

separated by a colon. All groups must be specified. For example,

0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0A90:3442

[netmask address]

Optional. For iSCSI IPv4 only, the subnet mask for the port IP address. This parameter requires the ports

parameter.

[noprompt]

Optional. Suppresses confirmation prompts. Specifying this parameter allows the command to proceed

without user interaction.

[ports ports|all]

Optional. Specific host port numbers or all ports. For port syntax, see Command syntax

[prompt yes|no|expert]

Optional. For scripting, this specifies an automatic reply to confirmation prompts:

• yes: Allow the command to proceed.

• no: Cancel the command.

• expert: Allow the command to proceed

If this parameter is omitted, you must manually reply to prompts

speed 4g|8g|16g|auto

Optional. For FC, sets a forced link speed in Gbit/s or lets the speed be auto-negotiated (auto). Because a

speed mismatch prevents communication between the port and host, set a speed only if you need to force

the port to use a known speed for testing, or you need to specify a mutually supported speed for more than

two FC devices connected in an arbitrated loop. Loop mode cannot be used with 16-Gbit/s link speed. This

parameter requires the ports parameter.

Examples

On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to 8 Gbit/s for ports A1 and B1.

# set host-parameters speed 8g ports a1,b1

On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to auto for ports A1 and B1 and suppress the confirmation

prompt.

# set host-parameters speed auto ports a1,b1 noprompt

On a system with iSCSI ports using IPv4 addressing, change the IP address of port A3.

# set host-parameters ip 10.134.50.6 ports a3

On a system with iSCSI ports, specify to use IPv6 addressing and change the IP address and default router

for port A1.

# set host-parameters ports A1 iscsi-ip-version ipv6 ip ::8576:246a default-

router ::0a0a:
