Task Description
Modify a fabric name Type a name in the Fabric Name field. Do not use spaces.
Set the uplink port speed Click the pull-down arrow in the Configured Speed field, and then select
a speed. The default value is Auto, which auto-negotiates the speed with
the FC switch to which the ports are connected. If 8Gb is chosen for the
uplink speed on an FC module that does not support 8Gb, the value is
automatically translated to "Auto" within VCM. This allows the module to
connect at the highest supported speed.
Change the login re-distribution (on
page 127 )
Select the Show Advanced Settings checkbox, and then select Manual or
Automatic. The default is Manual. The Automatic option is only available
on FlexFabric modules, and enables you to specify an interval, in
seconds, for how long the previously offline links must be stable before
the module can re-distribute logins. For more information, see "Fibre
Channel Settings (Misc.) screen (on page 133 )."
