[controller a|b|both] Deprecated—use the ports parameter instead [fibre-connection-mode
loop|point-to-point|auto] Optional. For FC,
sets the topology for the specified ports to: 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. [default-router address]Optional. For iSCSI IPv6 only, the default
router for the port IP address. This parameter requires the ports parameter. [gateway address]Optional. For iSCSI, the
port gateway address. This parameter requires the ports parameter. [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. This parameter requires the ports parameter. [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. This parameter requires the ports parameter. [noprompt]Optional. Suppresses confirmation prompts. 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 [prompt yes|no|expert]Optional. For scripting, this specifies an automatic
reply to confirmation prompts:
- 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 prompts speed 4g|8g|16g|autoOptional. 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. This parameter
requires the ports parameter. |
