CLI Guide

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|auto
Optional. 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.
Examples
On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to 8 Gbit/s for ports A1 and B1.
# set host-parameters speed 8g ports a1,b1
On a system with FC ports, set the link speed to auto for ports A1 and B1 and suppress the
confirmation prompt.
