Item
Description
balancing of a fabric if login re-distribution is configured.
Syntax
set fabric <Name> [-LoadBalance] [Name=<NewName>]
[Ports=<PortList>] [Speed=<Auto|2Gb|4Gb|8Gb>]
[LinkDist=<Auto|Manual>]
Parameter
Name (required)
A unique name for the fabric
Option
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. 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 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 FC Module support only manual login
re-distribution. The HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module supports both auto and
manual login re-distribution.
Ports (optional) 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 to be
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.
