host="hostName" interfaceType=SAS Parameters Parameter identifier userLabel host interfaceType Description WWID of the HBA host port. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the WWID. Name to give the new HBA host port. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the port label. 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. Create iSCSI Initiator This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object. Syntax create iscsiInitiator iscsiName = "iSCSI-ID" userLabel = "name" host = "host-name" [chapSecret = securityKey] Parameters Parameter Description iscsiName The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator. userLabel The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose the name in double quotation marks (" "). host The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed. chapSecret The password that you want to use to authenticate a peer connection. 112
