HP Interface Manager and Command View for Tape Libraries 3.7 User Guide

Operands The drive number for which to set the hostport mode. The mode
may be changed for all LTO4 and later drives by specifying
all for this operand. This operand is required.
drive_num
mode The mode, which can be: auto, hard, soft, or nport. When
mode is hard, the alpa may be specified. This operand is
required.
NOTE: The alpa value cannot be 0xEF because this is equal
to a loopid of 0, which is soft mode.
Examples To set the mode to soft addressing on all ports on all LTO4 and later drives:
/>set drive hostport mode all soft
To set the mode to hard addressing on all ports on all LTO4 and later drives:
/>set drive hostport mode all hard
To set the mode to hard addressing and ALPA to 0xbc on all ports on all LTO4
and later drives:
/>set drive hostport mode all hard 0xbc
To set the mode to hard addressing on all ports on drive number 1:
/>set drive hostport mode 1 hard

set drive hostport speed
Description Sets the speed for all host ports for the drive entered or all LTO4 and later
drives.
Syntax set drive hostport speed [drive_num] | [all] speed
Availability All users and manual mode only
Operands The drive number for which to set the hostport speed. The
mode may be changed for all LTO4 and later drives by
specifying all for this operand. This operand is required.
drive_num
speed The value associated with the speed. This operand is required.
The speed may be:
• 1 for 1-gigabit (LTO4 only)
• 2 for 2-gigabit
• 4 for 4-gigabit
• 8 for 8–gigabit (LTO5 and later)
Examples To set the speed to 4-gigabit on all LTO4 and later drives:
/>set drive hostport speed all 4

set host name
Description Gives a host HBA a name. A name is applied to a host using the number of
that host as it appears when using the show host name all command. If
another host already has the specified name, no changes are made because
every host name must be unique. If the specified host already has a name,
