Refer to “log” on page 147 for details about this command.
Port speed
Port speed is the maximum amount of data that can pass through the port at a given second. The
unit of measurement is in gigabits per second (Gbps). The available speed options depend on the
HBA’s speed and the port’s SFP. Auto-negotiate is the recommended setting and it is the default.
Speed options for the 4 Gbps HBA (425 and 415) and the mezzanine card (804) are 1 Gbps,
2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, and 8 Gbps. The 8 Gbps HBA supports the 1 Gbps speed at the driver level, but it
does not support 1 Gbps in a BIOS/BOS configuration.
Configuring the port speed using HCM
1. Select Configure > Basic Port Configuration from the Host Connectivity Manager.
The Basic Port Configuration dialog box displays.
2. Select a value from the Configured Speed list.
3. Click Apply to apply the changes.
A port disable/enable configuration dialog box displays, confirming the configured speed,
which will take effect when the port is disabled or enabled.
4. Click Yes to continue, or No to cancel the operation.
5. Click OK to close the window.
