Description

configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.*

For all speed types the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum

configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM

determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for
the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed

type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum

port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed.

Boot Setting

Enables or disables offload or boot on the network connection. Valid values

are DISABLED, PRIMARY, (SECONDARY), and USE-BIOS. For more

information, see "Creating iSCSI connections (on page

188

)." After selecting

an option, you must click outside the grid to complete the selection.

MAC

Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain

Action

Perform delete operations

FC HBA Connections

Port

Relative order of the Fibre Channel port on the server receiving the profile

Connected to

Bay number of the VC-FC module to which the port is connected

FC SAN Name

Name of the SAN fabric to which the port is connected, or Unassigned

Status

Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port

Port Speed Type

Speed of the VC-FC module port connected to the server HBA port. Can be set

to "1", "2", "4", "8", "Auto", or "Disabled".

Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available
bandwidth for the port.

Disabled—The connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.

1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for
the connection.

For the HP 4Gb VC-FC Module and HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module,

supported speed values include "Auto","1Gb","2Gb", "4Gb", and

"Disabled". If the value is set to 8Gb, the speed is auto-negotiated by Virtual
Connect.*

WWPN

Type of WWN address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect

domain

Action

Perform delete operations

FCoE HBA Connections

Port

Relative order of the port on the server receiving the profile

Connected to

Bay number of the FlexFabric module to which the port is connected

FC SAN/FCoE Network Name Name of the SAN fabric or FCoE network to which the port is connected, or

Unassigned

Type

Type of connection, SAN or FCOE depending on the fabric or FCoE selection

Status

Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port. The

FCoE downlink port status of LOGGED-IN means that the Ethernet virtual port

is in a linked state and that there is at least one FCoE login. The FCoE
downlink port status of NOT-LOGGED-IN means that either the Ethernet

virtual port is in an unlinked state or that there are no FCoE logins.

Port Speed Type

Requested speed for the FlexFabric connection.

If an FCoE network is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed
types are "Auto", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".

If a SAN Fabric is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed types

are "1", "2", "4", "8", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".
For all port speed types, if configured, the maximum allocated port speed is

determined by the maximum connection speed for that SAN Fabric or FCoE
