Figure 42: Configuration > Drive page (Fibre Channel)
For a Fibre Channel tape drive, you can use this screen to configure the FC ports. The port fields are:
• Speed — Automatic, 1 Gb/s, 2 Gb/s, 4 Gb/s, or 8 Gb/s. Only speeds supported by the drive are listed. The
default is Automatic.
• Port Type — Automatic, Fabric (N), or Loop (NL). Direct connected devices are typically Loop. Devices
connected to a switch are typically Fabric. The default is Automatic.
• Addressing Mode — addressing mode when the port type is Loop: Hard, Soft, or Hard auto-select. If the
Addressing Mode is Hard, you must configure a fixed ALPA address that is unique on the loop. If the
Addressing Mode is Soft, the system will assign an ALPA during fabric login. If the Addressing mode is
Hard auto-select, the device will acquire an ALPA at the initial system setup and then fix that as a hard
address from then on.
• ALPA — Arbitrated Loop Port Address
