set host-parameters
Description
Sets controller host-port parameters for communication with attached hosts.
Host ports can be configured as FC or iSCSI ports. FC ports support use of qualified 16-Gbit/s
SFPs. You can set FC ports to auto-negotiate the link speed or to use a specific link speed. iSCSI
ports support use of qualified 10-Gbit/s SFPs. iSCSI port speeds are auto-negotiated. 10GbE iSCSI
host ports support use of qualified Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cables. iSCSI port speeds are auto-
negotiated.
CAUTION: Parameter changes will immediately take effect and may affect access to
data. The exception is that attempting to change FC loop IDs requires restarting the
controllers.

Syntax To set FC port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[fibre-connection-mode loop|point-to-point|auto]
[fibre-loop-id values]
[noprompt]
[ports ports|all]
[prompt yes|no|expert]
[speed 4g|8g|16g|auto]
To set iSCSI port parameters:
set host-parameters
[controller a|b|both]
[default-router address]
[gateway address]
[ip address]
[iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6]
[netmask address]
[noprompt]
[ports ports|all]
[prompt yes|no|expert]
Parameters
[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:
● loop: Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (public or private). Loop mode cannot be used with 16-
Gbit/s link speed.
● point-to-point: Fibre Channel point-to-point. This is the default.
● auto: Automatically sets the mode based on the detected connection type
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
