Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System CLI Guide

set host-port-mode


Description	Changes host-interface characteristics for host ports in a CNC controller module. For both controller modules, all ports can be set to FC, all ports can be set to iSCSI, or the first two ports in each controller module can be set to FC and the second two ports can be set to iSCSI. This command will immediately change the host port configuration, stop I/O, restart both controllers, and log event 236. After the controllers have restarted, you can use the set host-parameters command to configure the individual ports. NOTE:If you change the configuration of host ports used for replication peer connections, you will have to reconfigure the peer connections.

Parameters	[FC\|iSCSI\|FC-and-iSCSI] Sets the port mode for each controller. FC: Sets all ports to FC. iSCSI: Sets all ports to iSCSI. FC-and-iSCSI: Sets the first two ports to FC and the second two ports to iSCSI. [noprompt] Optional. Suppresses confirmation prompts.
