HP Virtual Connect Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 41)

Command line 41
Item Description
LoadBalance Performs load balancing on a fabric configured for manual login re-distribution. This
option is not supported for DirectAttach fabrics.
Properties
Name (optional) The new name of the fabric
Speed (optional) The port speed for the uplink ports in the fabric. Values include "Auto", "2Gb", "4Gb",
and "8Gb". The default port speed is "Auto".
Speed restrictions:
• For the HP VC 4Gb FC Module, if the value 8Gb is chosen, VCM translates the
value to "Auto", which allows the module to connect to the SAN switch at optimal
speed.
• For the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, HP VC
FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module, HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module, valid
speed values include "Auto","2Gb","4Gb", and "8Gb".
LinkDist
(optional)
Specifies the login re-distribution scheme for load balancing. Values include "Auto"
and "Manual". The default login re-distribution is "Manual" for a "FabricAttach"
fabric. Login re-distribution is not supported for "DirectAttach" fabrics.
The HP VC 4Gb FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, and HP VC 8Gb 24-Port
FC Module support only manual login re-distribution. The HP VC FlexFabric
10Gb/24-port Module and HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module support both auto
and manual login re-distribution.
Ports (optional) A list of one or more logical FC ports to be added to the fabric. Specify each port in the
format "<port1>,<port2>,...", where port is the interconnect module port being
modified in the fabric (affects all modules within a bay group).
• For HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules, port numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4
correspond to ports X1, X2, X3, and X4, respectively.
• For HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Modules, port numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8
correspond to ports X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, and X8, respectively. Ports X1
through X4 support Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic. Port pairs X5/X6 and
X7/X8 carry a single type of network traffic, either Ethernet or Fibre Channel.
PrefSpeedType
(optional)
Preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values are
"Auto" and "Custom". "Custom" allows the user to configure the speed. The default
value is "Auto". This property is configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from the
FlexFabric interconnect module.
PrefSpeed
(required if
PrefSpeedType is
"Custom")
The preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values
range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property is configured only if
the fabric has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.
MaxSpeedType
(optional)
The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values are 'Unrestricted' and 'Custom'. 'Custom' allows the user to configure the
speed. The default value is 'Unrestricted'. This property is configured only if the fabric
has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.
MaxSpeed
(required if
MaxSpeedType is
"Custom")
The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property can be
configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from FlexFabric interconnect module.
Examples
