a.
Click the down arrow under FC SAN Name to select an available SAN.
b.
Click the down arrow under Port Speed to select Auto, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb, or Disabled for that port.
The default is Auto.
7.
To modify the Fibre Channel boot parameters, select the Show Fibre Channel Boot Parameters
checkbox under the FC HBA connections. See "Fibre Channel boot parameters (on page
)."
After selecting an item from the pull-down menu in the Boot Setting column, you must click outside the
grid to complete the selection. This is the same procedure that is followed when selecting a fabric or
network for an FC or Ethernet connection, respectively. After the Boot Setting column has been
completed, you can edit the Target Port Name and LUN.
8.
Set up FCoE HBA connections:
o
Click on the down arrow under FC SAN Name to select an available SAN.
o
Click on the Port speed to select 1, 2, 4, 8, Custom, or Disabled. The default is 4Gb, and the Custom
option allows you to choose a value between 100Mb and 10Gb in 100Mb intervals.

To modify the Fibre Channel boot parameters for booting over FCoE, select the Show Fibre Channel
Boot Parameters checkbox under the FCoE HBA connections. See "Fibre Channel boot parameters (on
page
)."
After selecting an item from the pull-down menu in the Boot Setting column, you must click outside the
grid to complete the selection. This is the same procedure that is followed when selecting a fabric or

To assign the server profile to a device bay, click the down arrow next to Select Location to select an
enclosure and bay number. This step can be deferred.
If the VC domain is configured for double-dense server mode, and a profile is assigned to an empty
server bay, then a hot-plug installation of a single-dense server into that server bay results in the profile
not being activated. To recover the profile, unassign the profile, and then reassign it.
Be sure that the type of server blade in the bay, or planned for the bay, can support the configuration.
For example, not all server blades support FCoE connections.
If a server blade is present in the selected location, it must be powered off for the profile to be saved and
assigned properly.
For more information on server power requirements when assigning or removing server profiles, see
"Server profile troubleshooting (on page
)."

Creating iSCSI connections
In order to provision iSCSI connections, you must remove any FCoE connections assigned by default when
FlexFabric modules are present in an enclosure. If you are not going to configure FCoE connections and the
adapter does not support iSCSI and FCoE on different PFs, delete the default connections so that those port
functions are available for iSCSI.
In the iSCSI HBA Connections section, add an iSCSI connection. Select a VC network, and then select a boot
setting:
•
Disabled—Only iSCSI offload is available. Boot is unavailable.
•
Primary—Enables you to set up a fault-tolerant boot path and displays the screen for Flex-10 iSCSI
). If Primary is already configured, this setting changes to Secondary.
•
USE-BIOS—Indicates if boot will be enabled or disabled using the server iSCSI BIOS utility.
