set host-parameters
Description Sets controller host-port parameters for communication with attached hosts. FC and iSCSI ports can
be configured.
For an FC controller, host ports support use of qualified 8-Gbit/s with a maximum link speed of
8-Gbit/s.
For a 1GbE iSCSI controller, host ports support use of qualified 1-Gbit/s SFPs.
For a 10GbE iSCSI controller, host ports support use of qualified 10-Gbit/s SFPs.
iSCSI port speeds are auto-negotiated.
Attempting to change FC loop IDs requires restarting the controllers; otherwise, new settings take
effect without restarting the controllers.
Syntax To set FC-port parameters:

Parameters controller a|b|both
Deprecated; use the ports parameter.
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).
• point-to-point: Fibre Channel point-to-point. This is the default.
• auto: Loop preferred, otherwise point-to-point, based on the detected connection type.
You must also specify the ports parameter.
