HP Virtual Connect FlexFabric 10Gb24-port Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 38)

Command line 38
Item Description
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, 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. 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 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. 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.
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-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
desired 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-8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property can be
configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from FlexFabric interconnect module.
