The
Port Settings
page (see
table 11
for field descriptions) allows you to
set the AL_PA, Loop ID and speed for every Fibre Channel port
connecting the DX-Series system to the customer SAN (DX30 has two
ports and DX100 has eight ports).
Table 11 Port Settings
Note:
The DX-Series system must be off-line to configure the Fibre
Channel options.
Field
Description
Make the Node
WWN
While the Port WWNs are always unique, the
Node WWNs can be set according to the
Make the
Node WWN
section as follows:
• Selecting
Globally Unique but same for all ports
makes the Node WWNs the same for all Fibre
Channel ports.
• Selecting
Equal to the Port WWNs for each port
makes the Node WWNs equal to the Port
WWNs.
AL_PA and
Loop ID
This field allows you to set either a soft or hard
AL_PA. Soft allows the customer SAN to
automatically assign a loop ID to the DX-Series
System. Hard allows you to manually assign the
loop ID. The Default setting is soft.
Speed
This field allows you to select the maximum speed
of the Fibre Channel port (1GB/sec, 2GB/sec, or
Automatic). The default setting is Automatic.
