Command Reference Guide

option is overridden (if specified), a warning is returned, and you are prompted for confirmation
to complete the execution of the commands.
• The controlport rcip addr command is only allowed for node/slot/port combinations
where there is an interface installed.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to increase MTU to 9000 on Gigabit Ethernet port 1 in node
6, slot 3:
cli% controlport rcip mtu 9000 6:3:1
Remote Copy change successful.
The following example shows how to set Remote Copy interface 172.16.1.11 on a Gigabit
Ethernet port 1 in node 6, slot 3 using a netmask of 255.255.255.0:
cli% controlport rcip addr 172.16.1.11 255.255.255.0 6:3:1
Are you sure you want to change the address for 6:3:1?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Remote Copy interface change successful.
The following example shows how to set the gateway for Gigabit Ethernet port 1 in node 6, slot
3 using a gateway address of 172.16.1.1:
cli% controlport rcip gw 172.16.1.1 6:3:1
Are you sure you want to change the gateway for 6:3:1?
select q=quit y=yes n=no: y
Remote Copy interface change successful.
The following examples show usage of controlport config:
controlport config host -ct point 1:3:1
ontrolport config host -unique_nwwn enable 1:2:3
controlport config rcfc 0:0:1
controlport config disk 2:2:2
controlport config iscsi 1:8:1
controlport config peer -ct point 1:5:1
NOTES
• The ct, cl2, or rate subcommands automatically resets the port for the changes to take
effect.
• Issue the showport command with either the –i or –par options to verify the success of the
controlport command. See “controlport” (page 87).
• Resetting a port causes a momentary dip in throughput, but no loss of connectivity.
• The -f option forces the operation. Without the flag, the command prompts for confirmation.
In some cases, unless the TPDFORCE_OVERRIDE environment variable is set, the command
asks for confirmation even when the -f option is specified because the operation might disrupt
the system operation.
• Use caution when changing modes for ports in LSI Fibre Channel adapters. Changing the
mode of one port in a pair (for example, from initiator to target) causes the other port in the
pair to also undergo a mode change. In the case where one port in the pair is offline (and
therefore a mode change can be allowed), but the partner port is online, changing the mode
