Port definition
On the Storage Entry: SAN and Storage Pool Entry: SAN screens, the Port Selection table
allows you to define the ports that can be used to access the volume selections for this logical
server.
Any communication with SAN storage starts with the server’s Fibre Channel ports. Ports are
added in sequential order. For each port, you must select the fabric from a drop-down menu
with which the port will communicate. Each port is created with an automatically generated
server WWN assigned to it. This WWN, like a MAC address for NICs, is used to uniquely identify
this FC port to the SAN. The storage administrator provides access to these ports when
prepresenting LUNs.
Define one logical port for each server port (physical HBA port) by performing the following
steps.
1.
Click the Add Port button to add a row to the Port Selection table.
2.
Select a value from the Fabric drop-down menu.
The fabric corresponds to the Fibre Channel connection bay you want to use for
communication.
3.
Select a value from the Speed drop-down menu.
