HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

set host-parameters 163
set host-parameters
Description Sets controller host-port parameters for communication with attached hosts. FC and iSCSI ports can
be configured. There are no parameters for SAS ports.
MSA 2040 SAN host ports can be configured as FC or iSCSI ports. FC ports support use of
qualified 8-Gbit/s or 16-Gbit/s SFPs. You can set FC ports to auto-negotiate the link speed or to use
a specific link speed. iSCSI ports support use of qualified 1-Gbit/s or 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:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[fibre-connection-mode loop|point-to-point|auto]
[fibre-loop-id
values ]
[noprompt]
[ports
ports |all]

[speed 4g|8g|16g|auto]
To set iSCSI-port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[default-router

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). Loop mode cannot be used with
16 - Gb i t/ s l i n k sp e e d .
• 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.
