Parameter

userLabel	Name to give the host group that you are creating.

	group name.

Create Host Port

Description

This command creates a new HBA host port identification. The identification is a software value that represents the physical HBA host port to the RAID controller module. Without the host port identification, the RAID controller module cannot receive instructions or data from the host port.

Syntax

create hostPort identifier="wwid" userLabel="portLabel" host="hostName" interfaceType=SAS

Parameters

Parameter	Description
identifier	WWID of the HBA host port. You must put
	quotation marks (" ") around the WWID.
userLabel	Name to give the new HBA host port. You must put
	quotation marks (" ") around the port label.
host	Name of the host for which you are defining an
	HBA host port. You must put quotation marks (" ")
	around the host name.
	NOTE: An HBA host port is a physical
	connection on a host adapter that resides
	within a host system. An HBA host port
	provides host access to the virtual disks in a
	storage array. If the host bus adapter has only
	one physical connection (one host port), the
	terms host port and host bus adapter are
	synonymous.
interfaceType	The identifier for the type of interface for the host
	port.
	You must enter SAS. If you do not enter SAS, the
	command attempts to use an invalid type of
	interface. A SAS selection requires an 8-byte
	WWID.
