I think you are confused here.
The HP StorageWorks 4/16 SAN switch is indeed a 4 Gb switch. The model name, "4/16" tells you it's a 4Gb switch with 16 ports.
The fcmsutil output is showing you what speed that adapter is *currently* linked at. You cannot hard-code the speed from the adapter side. FC HBA's are all autonegotiate. If you want to hard code the speed, that is done from the switch side. Hard coding the speed is always better than autonegotiate.
The StorageWorks 4/16 switch is a rebranded Brocade, so use the portcfgspeed command.
You might want to consult with your SAN administrator as it sounds like you're pretty unfamiliar with FC networking...
