show ports

set host-port-mode

Description

Changes host-interface characteristics for host ports in a CNC controller module.

For both controller modules, all ports can be set to FC, all ports can be set to iSCSI, or the first two ports in

each controller module can be set to FC and the second two ports can be set to iSCSI.

This command will immediately change the host port configuration, stop I/O, restart both controllers, and log

event 236. After the controllers have restarted, you can use the set host-parameters command to configure

the individual ports.

NOTE: If you change the configuration of host ports used for replication peer connections, you

will have to reconfigure the peer connections.

protocol.
