Page 164: Description
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.
NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Command names can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you exceed the maximum character limit, replace
square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >) to overcome this limitation.
