Parameter
Parameter Description
userLabel Name to give the host group that you are creating.
You must put quotation marks (" ") around the host
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.
