set host-parameters 165

speed 4g|8g|16g|auto

Optional. For FC, sets a forced link speed in Gbit/s or lets the speed be auto-negotiated (auto).

Because a speed mismatch prevents communication between the port and host, set a speed only if

you need to force the port to use a known speed for testing, or you need to specify a mutually

supported speed for more than two FC devices connected in an arbitrated loop. Loop mode cannot

be used with 16-Gbit/s link speed.

Example On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to 8 Gbit/s for ports A1 and B1:

# set host-parameters speed 8g ports a1,b1

Success: Command completed successfully. (2013-06-24 15:42:52)

On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to auto for ports A1 and B1 and suppress the

confirmation prompt:

# set host-parameters speed auto ports a1,b1 noprompt

Success: Command completed successfully. (2013-06-24 15:46:14)

On a system with iSCSI ports using IPv4 addressing, change the IP address of port A3:

# set host-parameters ip 10.134.50.6 ports a3

WARNING: This change will take effect immediately. Changes may affect access to

data.

Do you want to continue? (y/n) yes

Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-06-24 15:46:51)

On a system with iSCSI ports, specify to use IPv6 addressing and change the IP address and default

router for port A1:

# set host-parameters ports A1 iscsi-ip-version ipv6 ip ::8576:246a

default-router ::0a0a:1

WARNING: This change will take effect immediately. Changes may affect access to

data.

Do you want to continue? (y/n) yes

Success: Command completed successfully. (2013-06-24 15:47:30)
