Fibre to SAS/SATA Disk Array
124 User Manual
Channel Topology
Each Fibre Channel can be configured to the following Topology options: Fabric,
Point-to-Point, Loop, Auto, or Loop/MNID. The default Topology is set to “Auto”,
which takes precedence of Loop Topology. Restarting the RAID controller 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.
View Error Statistics
In this screen appears the Fibre channel error statistics like Channel, Loss of Signal, Loss
of Sync, Link Fail, and Bad CRC.
NOTE: It is not recommended to insert the SFP modules in the FC
host channels (ports) which are not in used.
