Command line 35
Item
Description
Ports (required) A list of one or more logical FC ports to be added to the fabric. Each port is specified
in the format "<port1>,<port2>,...", where port is the interconnect module port number
to be added to the fabric, for example "1, 2, 3, 4" (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.
Type (optional)
The fabric type. "FabricAttach" is for a SAN fabric. A "DirectAttach" fabric is directly
connected to a supported storage device. A "DirectAttach" fabric is only allowed for a
FlexFabric module. The default type is "FabricAttach".
Speed (optional) The port speed for the uplink ports in the fabric. Valid values include "Auto", "2Gb",
"4Gb", and "8Gb". The default port speed is "Auto".
Speed restrictions:
•
For the HP Virtual Connect 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, and HP
VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module, valid speed values include "Auto", "2Gb",
"4Gb", and "8Gb".
LinkDist
(optional)
Specifies the login re-distribution scheme to use for load balancing. Valid 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 4Gb VC-FC Module, HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port
FC Module, and HP VC 8Gb 24-Port Module support only manual login redistribution.
The HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module supports both auto and manual login
redistribution.
