set host-parameters
Description Sets controller host-port parameters for communication with attached hosts. You can set parameters
for FC and iSCSI ports; there are no parameters for SAS ports.
Attempting to change FC loop IDs requires restarting the controllers; otherwise, new settings take
effect without restarting the controllers.
By default, iSCSI port speeds are auto-negotiated. To prevent them from acquiring inappropriately
low speeds, use the set iscsi-parameters command.
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]
[prompt yes|no|y|n|expert]
[speed 2g|4g|8g|auto]
To set iSCSI-port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[gateway address ]
[ip address ]
[iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6]
[netmask address ]
[noprompt]
[ports ports |all]
[prompt yes|no|expert]
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.
•
auto
: Loop preferred, otherwise point-to-point, based on the detected connection type. This is
the default.
You must also specify the
ports
parameter.
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.
