At least one of the optional keywords is required:

An integer 0–15 to indicate the DPM Fibre Channel port.
capability [port capability]
FCP_TARGET: to enable the port to be used as a front-end (looks like a storage array port to
servers).
FCP_INITIATOR: to initiate back-end traffic to the supported storage arrays (is not available
to servers).
both: traffic can go both ways.
speed [port speed]
1G, 2G, 4G, NEGOTIATE
type [port name]
UNKNOWN, AUTO, FABRIC, LOOP
FABRIC: the port functions only in conjunction with a single-attached device that is capable
of fabric mode operation. The default is fabric mode, with the fabric yielding better throughput,
and links recover more quickly.
NOTE:
Only the FABRIC port name is supported with the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services
Platform.
