Description

 

 

MAC

Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain

Action

Perform delete operations

iSCSI HBA Connections

 

Port

Relative order of the port on the server receiving the profile

Network Name

Unassigned or name of the network associated with this port

Status

Displays the current linked status of the selected port

Port Speed Type

The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include

 

"Auto", "Preferred", "Custom", and "Disabled". The default value is

 

"Preferred".

 

Auto—The maximum port speed is determined by the maximum configured

 

speed for the network.

 

Preferred—The speed of the network is the same as the preferred speed of the

 

network to which the connection is associated. If no preferred speed is

 

configured for a network, it behaves like "Auto".

 

Custom—You can configure any speed from 100Mb to the maximum

 

configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.*

 

For all speed types, the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum

 

configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM

 

determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for

 

the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed

 

type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum

 

port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed.

 

 

Boot Setting

Enables or disables offload or boot on the network connection. Valid values

 

are DISABLED, PRIMARY, (SECONDARY), and USE-BIOS. For more

 

information, see "Creating iSCSI connections (on page 192)." After selecting

 

an option, you must click outside the grid to complete the selection.

 

 

MAC

Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain

Action

FC HBA Connections

 

Port

Relative order of the Fibre Channel port on the server receiving the profile

Connected to

Bay number of the VC-FC module to which the port is connected

FC SAN Name

Name of the SAN fabric to which the port is connected, or Unassigned

Status

Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port

Port Speed Type

Speed of the VC-FC module port connected to the server HBA port. Can be set

 

to "1", "2", "4", "8", "Auto", or "Disabled".

 

Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available

 

bandwidth for the port.

 

Disabled—The connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.

 

1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for

 

the connection

 

For the HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module, supported speed values include

 

"Auto","1Gb","2Gb", "4Gb", and "Disabled". If the value is set to 8Gb, the

 

speed is auto-negotiated by Virtual Connect.*
