Define SAN Fabric screen

To define a SAN fabric, select the Define SAN Fabric link on the home page, click Define SAN Fabric on the SAN Fabrics (Server Connections) screen (on page 161), click Add on the SAN Fabrics (External Connections) screen (on page 159), or select SAN Fabric from the Define pull-down menu.

In FabricAttach mode, only connect HP VC 4Gb FC module, HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC module, or FlexFabric FC uplinks to Fibre Channel switch ports that are NPIV-enabled.

NOTE: If using a Brocade FC switch, verify that NPIV is enabled properly by using the portshow command. If NPIV is not enabled properly, you might need to downgrade the Brocade switch firmware, and then upgrade the firmware again.

For VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Modules, if uplink port 8 is present in the VC SAN fabric definition, this port is treated as the lowest-numbered port and receives server logins before any other uplink ports.

In DirectAttach mode, connect the FC-capable uplink ports of the HP VC FlexFabric module to target ports on the 3PAR array controller node.
