reset host-link


Description	Resets specified controller host ports (channels). CAUTION:Resetting host links may cause lost connection to hosts. For FC, you can reset a single port. For an FC host port configured to use FC-AL (loop) topology, a reset issues a loop initialization primitive (LIP). For iSCSI, you cannot reset individual ports; this command resets all ports on the specified controller. For SAS, you cannot reset individual ports; this command resets all ports on the specified controller. This command has a confirmation prompt in interactive console mode.
Minimum role	standard
Syntax	reset host-link ports <ports>
Parameters	ports <ports> A controller host port ID, a comma-separated list of IDs, a hyphenated range of IDs, or a combination of these. A port ID is a controller ID and port number, and is not case sensitive. Do not mix controller IDs in a range. For iSCSI, all ports on the specified controller are reset, regardless of which port number you enter. For SAS, all ports on the specified controller are reset, regardless of which port number you enter.
Examples	Reset the host link on port A1. # reset host-link ports A1
