fibre-loop-id values
Optional. For FC, specifies comma-separated loop ID values to request for host ports when
controllers arbitrate during a LIP. Use this option if you want ports to have specific addresses, if your
system checks addresses in reverse order (lowest address first), or if an application requires that
specific IDs be assigned to recognize the controller. If the loop ID is changed for one port, the same
ID is used for other ports in the same controller. If the ports parameter is specified, loop IDs are set
based on the controllers that the ports are in. You cannot specify the same value for ports on different
controllers.
• soft or 255: Soft target addressing enables the LIP to determine the loop ID. Use this setting if
the loop ID is permitted to change after a LIP or power cycle.
• 0–125: Specify a hard target address if you do not want the loop ID to change after a LIP or
power cycle. If the port cannot acquire the specified ID, it is assigned a soft target address.
You must restart affected controllers to make loop ID changes take effect.
default-router
address
Optional. For iSCSI IPv6 only, the default router for the port IP address.
gateway
address
Optional. For iSCSI, the port gateway address.
ip
address
Optional. For iSCSI, the port IP address. Ensure that each iSCSI host port in the storage system is
assigned a different IP address.
iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6
Optional. Specifies whether to use IP version 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6) for addressing controller iSCSI
ports. When you change this setting, iSCSI-port address values are converted to the new format.
• ipv4: Lets you specify addresses in dot-decimal format, where the four octets of the address use
decimal values without leading zeroes and the octets are separated by a period; for example,
10.132.2.205. The first octet may not be zero, with the exception that 0.0.0.0 can be used to
disable the interface (stop I/O). This option is the default.
• ipv6: Lets you specify addresses using eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where the
groups are separated by a colon. All groups must be specified. For example,
0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0A90:3442.
netmask
address
Optional. For iSCSI IPv4 only, the subnet mask for the port IP address.
noprompt
Optional in console format; required for XML API format. Suppresses the confirmation prompt, which
requires a yes or no response. Specifying this parameter allows the command to proceed without
user interaction.
ports
ports |all
Optional. Specific host port numbers or all ports. For port syntax, see "Command syntax" (page 20).
prompt yes|no|expert
Optional. Specifies an automatic response to the confirmation prompt:
• yes: Allow the command to proceed.
• no: Cancel the command.
• expert: Allow the command to proceed.
If this parameter is omitted, you must manually reply to the prompt.
