Description

 

 

 

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.

 

 

Allocated Port Speed (Min-Max)

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

 

175)."

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.

 

 

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.

 

 

*Only Flex-10 NICs and FlexFabric NICs connected to Flex-10 modules and FlexFabric modules are able to set the transmit bandwidth allocation. Other parts are restricted to the actual physical speed (1Gb).

The following table describes the available actions in the Edit Server Profile screen. Clicking another link in the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to be lost.

Task

Action

 

 

Edit a profile name

Type a name in the Profile Name field.

 

 

Hide or show unused FlexNICs

Select Hide Unused FlexNICs to prevent the operating system from

 

enumerating FlexNICs. Deselect Hide Unused FlexNICs to enumerate all

 

FlexNICs.

 

The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.10 is to hide the unused

 

FlexNICs.

 

The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.01 or earlier is to show the

 

unused FlexNICs. You must manually hide unused FlexNICs for a profile

 

created in VC 4.01 or earlier by editing the profile and selecting the Hide

 

Unused FlexNICs option.

 

Selecting this option might reorder NIC enumeration in the host operating

 

system. This can disrupt server communications and require the server

 

administrator to manually readjust the network configuration, such as NIC

 

teaming, to restore communication.
