Description

 

 

FC SAN/FCoE Network Name

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

 

Unassigned

 

 

Type

Type of connection, SAN or FCOE depending on the fabric or FCoE selection

Status

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

 

FCoE downlink port status of LOGGED-IN means that the Ethernet virtual port

 

is in a linked state and that there is at least one FCoE login. The FCoE

 

downlink port status of NOT-LOGGED-IN means that either the Ethernet

 

virtual port is in an unlinked state or that there are no FCoE logins.

 

 

Port Speed Type

Requested speed for the FlexFabric connection.

 

If an FCoE network is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed

 

types are "Auto", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".

 

If a SAN Fabric is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed types

 

are "1", "2", "4", "8", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".

 

For all port speed types, if configured, the maximum allocated port speed is

 

determined by the maximum connection speed for that SAN Fabric or FCoE

 

network.

 

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

 

bandwidth for the port.

 

Preferred—Use the preferred speed of the SAN Fabric or FCoE network

 

selected for this connection. If no preferred speed is configured, VCM

 

determines the speed.

 

Custom—Allows you to select a custom port speed setting between 100Mb

 

and the configured maximum connection speed in 100Mb increments

 

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

 

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

 

the FCoE connection assigned to a SAN Fabric
