Multicast Filter

Shows the name of the multicast filter or filter set that has been selected for the

 

 

connection

 

 

 

 

MAC

As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.

 

 

For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the

 

 

profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the

 

 

profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC

 

 

addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined

 

 

MAC addresses, the VC-defined MAC address appears. If the profile is using

 

 

hardware MAC addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.

 

 

 

 

Mapping

Server hardware mapping assignment. See "iSCSI and FCoE port

 

 

assignments (on page 173)."

 

Action

Delete a connection. Connections can be removed starting with the last

 

 

connection in the list.

 

 

 

 

 

iSCSI HBA Connections

 

 

 

Port

Relative order of the iSCSI 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.

 

 

 

 

Allocated Port Speed

Allocated bandwidth of the port. See "Bandwidth assignment (on page

 

 

175)."

 

 

 

 

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. This is the

 

 

same procedure that is followed when selecting a fabric or network for an FC

 

 

or Ethernet connection. After the Boot Setting column has been completed,

 

 

you can then edit the Target Port Name and LUN.

 

 

 

 

MAC

As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.

 

 

For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the

 

 

profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the

 

 

profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC

 

 

addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
