• If you selected hard addressing for a loop connection, select the

AL_PA (fixed address) or choose auto-select. Auto-select is an
option under hard addressing that selects an available address
and then uses it as a hard address from then on.

7. Press

[OK]

when complete to save the changes, or select

[QUIT]

to

return to the beginning of the fibre configuration menu. If you select

[QUIT]

, a message will display indicating the old values will be

retained.

If you select

[OK]

, a message displays indicating that the settings are

being stored onto the Fibre Channel interface. If this is successful, a
message displays indicating that the new settings will be attempted
at the next restart.

8. To immediately apply the new settings, select

[RESTART]

, or select

[DONE]

to wait until the next power cycle.

When the Fibre Channel interface is restarted, or when the library is
power-cycled,

FUTURE SETTINGS

are copied into

CURRENT SETTINGS

.

The Fibre Channel interface always attempts to connect using

CURRENT SETTINGS

.

• If you select

[RESTART]

, the Fibre Channel interface is restarted.

This should not be attempted if data transfers or library operations
are in progress.
The

[RESTART]

operation normally completes

within 90 seconds. The display will report the status of the
operation when it is complete.

NOTE

The actual connection achieved depends on the external topology and
network. Consequently,

CURRENT STATUS

may differ from

CURRENT

SETTINGS

.

NOTE

You can also change configuration from remote access. See “Using the
Remote Management Card” on page 3-9.
