Configuring the Fibre Channel ports

Configure the disk array Fibre Channel ports by using Remote Web Console (shown), Command View, or Command View XP AE. Select the settings for each port based on your storage area network topology. Use switch zoning if you connect different types of hosts to the array through the same switch.

Fibre Address

In fabric environments, the port addresses are assigned automatically. In arbitrated loop environments, set the port addresses by selecting a unique arbitrated loop physical address (AL-PA) or loop ID for each port.
