DP-503-F4A3 RAID SUBSYSTEM
62 Installation and User Manual
3.9.2 Fibre Channel Configuration
To set the Fibre Channel 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 1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, or 4 Gbps channel. Another option is
to use “Auto” for auto speed negotiation between 1Gbps/2Gbps/4Gbps. 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.
Channel Topology
Each Fibre Channel can be configured to the following Topology options: Fabric, Point-to-
Point, Loop or Auto. The default Topology is set to “Auto”, which takes precedence of Loop
Topology. Restart of the RAID subsystem is needed for any topology change to take effect. The current
connection topology 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 topology information. Note that current
topology is shown as “None” when no successful connection is made for the channel.
Hard Loop ID
This setting is effective only under Loop topology. When enabled, you can manually set the Loop ID in
the range from 0 to 125. Make sure this hard assigned ID does not conflict with other devices on the
same loop, otherwise the channel will be disabled. It is a good practice to disable the hard loop ID and
let the loop itself auto-arrange the Loop ID.
