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. 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. 130 Script Commands
