Description Changes host-interface characteristics for host ports in an MSA 2040 SAN 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 restart the controllers and log event 236. After the controllers have

restarted, you can use the set host-parameters command to configure the individual ports.

Syntax

set host-port-mode

[FC|iSCSI|FC-and-iSCSI]

[noprompt]

Parameters FC|iSCSI|FC-and-iSCSI

Sets the port mode for each controller.

• FC: Sets all ports to FC.

• iSCSI: Sets all ports to iSCSI.

• FC-and-iSCSI: Sets the first two ports to FC and the second two ports to iSCSI.

noprompt

Optional in console format; required for XML API format. Suppresses the confirmation prompt, which

warns that both controllers will be restarted. Specifying this parameter allows the command to

proceed without user interaction.

# set host-port-mode iSCSI

This command will change host port configuration, stop I/O, and restart both

controllers. Do you want to continue? (y/n) y
