What You Can Change

Description

Connection name

The connection name is a unique string of

alphanumeric or punctuation characters that identifies

a connection between a host bus adapter and the

HSxxx controller. The host performs a Fibre Channel

bus scan when it receives notification of a change to

the fabric. As part of its device discovery process, the

host then identifies the HSxxx as a SCSI device and

login to the HSxxx controller. As the host performs the

logs into, the HSxxx controller allocates an entry in the

host connections table and assigns a connection name

to the new connection. Subsequent logins by the host

will use this same connection name and entry.
Controller-produced connection names take the form

“!NEWCONN

nn

”, where

nn

is a two-character,

decimal integer. This string format is not allowed for

user-created connections.

Operating system

You can set your controller to operate with a variety of

operating systems. Refer to the release notes for

operating systems compatibility.

Unit offset

A decimal integer used to determine the LUN address

of a virtual disk on a specific connection. Offsets can

range from decimal 0-199.

Delete

You can delete a connection by placing a check in the

delete box. After placing a check in one or more of the

boxes, click the Delete button. A confirmation dialog

window opens listing the connections to be deleted.

Click the OK button to delete. A confirmation message

is displayed when the deletion is complete.

Note:

Only connections on the current page can be

deleted (a maximum of 8).
