For fibre channel ports

Item

Description

Port Security

Select whether LUN security is Enabled or Disabled.

Port Speed

Select the data transfer speed for the selected fibre channel port.

If Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the data transfer speed to 2, 4, 8, or 16 Gbps.

Caution: If you are using 2-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) (fibre channel board) port as 2 Gbps. If you are using 4-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) port as 4 Gbps. If you are using 8-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) port as 8 Gbps. If you are using 16-Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) port as 16-Gbps. If the Auto Negotiation setting is required, the linkup can become improper at server restart. Check a channel lamp, and if it is blinking, remove and re-insert the cable to perform the signal synchronization and linkup.

When the transfer speed of the CHB(FC) port is set to Auto, the data might not be transferred at the maximum speed depending on the connected device. Confirm the transfer speed appearing in Speed in the Ports list when you start up the storage system, HBA, or switch. When the transfer speed is not the maximum speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right or remove and reinsert the cable.

Address (Loop ID)

Select the address of the selected port.

Fabric

Select whether a fabric switch is set to ON or OFF.

Connection Type

Select the topology.

  • FC-AL: Fibre channel arbitrated loop

  • P-to-P (point-to-point).

Caution: Some fabric switches require that you specify point-to-point topology. If you enable a fabric switch, check the documentation for the fabric switch to determine whether your switch requires point-to-point topology.
