3. Distribute the borrowed credits by incrementing the Ext Credits Requested
field for the recipient ports up to the total credits in the pool. Choose OK. If
you exceed this total, a message will be entered in the alarm log indicating
that some recipient ports did not receive the requested credits.
4. To confirm that the requested credits were received, reopen the Extended
Credits window and match the number of credits in the "Ext Credits
Requested" column with the number in the "Donated to Port" column.
Note: Recipient ports can borrow credits only from donor ports that
reside on the same I/O blade with the recipient port.
Note: As credits are used, the Logged-In LEDs on the corresponding donor
ports illuminate continuously. In addition, donor port Activity LEDs will
reflect the same traffic as the recipient port. Donor ports whose credits
are being used are unavailable to devices that are connected to them.
