Parameter
Parameter Description
userLabel
The name that you want to give the host group that
you are creating. Enclose the host name in double
quotation marks (“ ”).
Notes
A host group is an optional topological element that you can define if you want to designate a collection
of hosts that share access to the same logical drives. The host group is a logical entity. Define a host
group only if you have two or more hosts that can share access to the same logical drives.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

Create Host Port
This command creates a new host port identification on a host bus adapter (HBA) or on a host channel
adapter (HCA). The identification is a software value that represents the physical HBA or HCA host port
to the controller. Without the correct host port identification, the controller cannot receive instructions or
data from the host port.
Syntax
create hostPort identifier=( wwID | gid)
userLabel= portLabel
host= hostName interfaceType=(FC | SAS | IB)
Parameters
Parameter Description
identifier The 8-byte World Wide Identifier (WWID) or the 16-byte
group identifier (GID) of the HBA or HCA host port.
Enclose the unique ID in double quotation marks (“ ”).
userLabel The name that you want to give to the new HBA or HCA
host port. Enclose the HBA host port label in double
quotation marks (“ ”).
host
The name of the host for which you are defining an HBA or
HCA host port. Enclose the host name in double quotation
marks (“ ”).
interfaceType
The identifier of the type of interface for the host port. The
choices are:
v FC – Fibre Channel
v SAS – Serial-Attached SCSI
v IB – Infiniband
An FC or a SAS selection requires an 8-byte WWID. An IB
selection requires a 16-byte group identifier (gid).
FC is the default interface for the host port.
