Port definition
On the Storage Entry: SAN and Add/Modify Storage Pool Entry: SAN screens, the Port
Selection
table allows you to define the ports that can be used to access the volume selections
for this logical server.
Any communication with SAN storage starts with the server’s Fibre Channel ports. Ports are
added in sequential order. For each port, you must select the fabric from a drop-down menu
with which the port will communicate. Each port is created with an automatically generated
server WWN assigned to it. This WWN, like a MAC address for NICs, is used to uniquely identify
this FC port to the SAN. The storage administrator provides access to these ports when
prepresenting LUNs.
Define one logical port for each server port (physical HBA port) by performing the following
steps.
1. Click the Add Port button to add a row to the Port Selection table.
2. Select a value from the Fabric drop-down menu.
3. Select a value from the Speed drop-down menu.
For Fibre Channel ports, select 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, or Auto (FC).
For Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports, select 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb (FCoE) or Custom
(FCoE)
from the drop-down menu. If you select Custom (FCoE), enter a port speed in the
text box. Custom port speed values can be 0.1 through 10.0 Gb, in increments of 0.1Gb.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each port for this storage pool entry.
5. To remove the last port added to the table, click the Remove Last Port button. Ports must
be removed in the reverse order in which they were added.
