InForm OS Version 2.3.1 Command Line Interface Reference
◆ Changing the mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to target) causes
the other port in the pair to undergo a mode change as well.
■ If there are active hosts or physical disks when issuing the controlport rst or offline
commands, a warning is returned and you are prompted for confirmation to complete the
execution of the commands.
■ When issuing the controlport ct, cl2, rate, persona, or rscn commands, if there are
active disks on the port, an error is returned. If there are active hosts on the port, the
–f
option is overridden (if specified), a warning is returned, and you are prompted for
confirmation to complete the execution of the commands.
■ The controlport rcip addr command is only allowed for node/slot/port combinations
where there is an interface installed.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to increase MTU to 9000 on Gigabit Ethernet port 1 in node
6, slot 3:
The following example shows how to set Remote Copy interface
172.16.1.11 on a Gigabit
Ethernet port 1 in node 6, slot 3 using a netmask of
255.255.255.0:
CAUTION: Use caution when changing modes for ports in LSI Fibre Channel
adapters. Changing the mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to
target) causes the other port in the pair to undergo a mode change. In the case
where one port in the pair is offline (and therefore a mode change can be
allowed), but the partner port is online, changing the mode of the offline port
causes the online partner port to undergo a mode change as well. This results in
loss of use of the partner port because it is no longer online.
