Figure 11 The Change Port Mode Box Displaying Information about Fibre Channel Ports
Select a Port To change settings for a port, select the port from this drop-down list.
Host Speed
The text box on the left displays the data transfer speed for the selected port.
The drop-down list on the right lets you specify the data transfer speed for the
selected port. If Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the
data transfer speed to 1 Gbps or 2 Gbps. Gbps is the acronym for Gigabits
per second.
Note : If you are using 2 Gbps HBA and Switch, set the transfer speed of
the CHF port as 2 Gbps. If you are using 1 Gbps HBA and Switch, set the
transfer speed of the CHF port as 1 Gbps. If the Auto Negotiation setting is
required, the linkup may become improper at Server reboot. Check a channel
lamp, and if it is blinking, remove and re-insert the cable to perform the signal
synchronization and linkup.
The text box on the left displays the address of the selected port.
Fibre Addr.
The drop-down list on the right lets you specify the address of the selected port.
The text box on the left indicates whether a Fabric switch is used. This option

Fabric
a Fabric switch is not used.
The drop-down list on the right lets you specify whether a Fabric switch is used.
Connection
The text box on the left indicates the topology. This text box can display
FC-AL or P-to-P (point-to-point).
The drop-down list on the right lets you specify the topology.
Caution : Some Fabric switches require you to specify the point-to-point
topology. If your system uses a Fabric switch, you must check the
documentation for the fabric switch to determine whether your switch requires
the point-to-point topology.
