Description

 

 

 

 

 

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.

 

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 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.*

 

 

 

 

WWPN

As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware WWN for mapped connections

 

 

appears. For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to

 

 

appear. If the profile is assigned, the WWN assigned to the port appears. If

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

WWNs, the VC-defined WWN appears. If the profile is using hardware

 

 

WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.

 

 

 

 

Mapping

Server hardware mapping assignment

 

Action

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

 

 

connection in the list.

 

 

 

 

FCoE HBA Connections

 

 

Port

Relative order of the FCoE port on the server receiving the profile

 

Connected to

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

 

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 VC module

 

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
