modify host_mode

Description Use this command to modify the host mode for a host group in a port and to modify host modes for

multiple host groups in one operation.

To perform the modify host_mode operation, the security switch must be set to ON for host groups,

except for host group 0.

Syntax modify host_mode <portname...>, <HostGrpNickname...>, <HostMode...>

Arguments <portname...>

The port that contains the host groups. <portname> can be specified as one port, a set of ports,

or a range of ports (for example, 1A or 1A:1B or 1A-1C). Port names must be specified in

truncated form (for example, 1A and not CL1-A) because the hyphen (-) is used to specify a

range.

<HostGrpNickname...>

The host group nicknames whose host modes are to be modified. <HostGrpNickname> can be

specified as one group nickname or a set of group nicknames (for example, nick1 or

nick1:nick3). If more than one port name is specified, then the specified host groups in all the

ports are modified.

<HostMode...>

The new host mode to be set. <HostMode> can be specified as one value or a set of values (for

example, 08 or 00:08). If only one host mode is specified, all the host groups are assigned the

host mode specified. If the number of values specified is equal to the number of groups, then

there is a one-to-one correspondence between the host groups and the host modes. In other

cases this command generates an error. The following host mode values are supported for the

XP128/XP1024:

• 00: Standard

•04: Sequent

•08: HP-UX

• 09: VxVM-DMP

•0A: NetWare

•0C: MS Cluster Server
