5.5.3 Fibre Channel Config
To set the Fibre Channel Configuration function, move the mouse cursor to the main
menu and click on the
Fibre Channel Config . The Fibre Channel Configuration
screen will be shown. Configure the desired function.
WWNN (World Wide Node Name)
The WWNN of the FC RAID system is shown at top of the configuration screen. This is an
eight-byte unique address factory assigned to the FC RAID, common to both FC ports.
WWPN (World Wide Port Name)
Each FC port has its unique WWPN, which is also factory assigned. Usually, the
WWNN:WWPN tuple is used to uniquely identify a port in the Fabric.
Channel Speed
Each FC port speed can be configured either as 2Gbps, 4Gbps, or 8Gbps channel.
Another option is to use “Auto” for auto speed negotiation between 2Gbps/4Gbps/8Gbps.
The RAID system’s default setting is “Auto”, which should be adequate under most
conditions. The Channel Speed setting takes effect during the next connection. That
means a link down / link up should be applied for the change to take effect. The current
connection speed is shown at end of the row. You have to click the “Fibre Channel
Config” link again from the menu frame to refresh the current speed information.
