Login Re-Distribution
When creating or editing a SAN fabric using HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules in a FabricAttach
fabric, select the Show Advanced Settings checkbox to select the login re-distribution:
•
Manual Login Re-Distribution—Default for all FC modules. You must initiate a Login Re-Distribution
request through the VC GUI or CLI interfaces. You might re-distribute logins if an uplink that was
previously down is now available, if you added an uplink to a fabric, or if the number of logins through
each available uplink has become unbalanced for any reason.
•
Automatic Login Re-Distribution—When selected, the VC FlexFabric module initiates Login
Re-Distribution automatically when the specified time interval expires. For more information about
setting the time interval, see "Fibre Channel Settings (Misc.) screen (on page
)" .
The automatic option is only available on FlexFabric modules in a FabricAttach fabric and enables you to
specify an interval, in seconds, for the length of time the previously offline links must be stable before the
module can re-distribute logins. Login re-distribution is not supported for DirectAttach fabrics.
FCoE Connection Speed
To change these settings, click the selection box, and then select a setting (100Mb to 8Gb):
•
Set a custom value for the Preferred FCoE Connection Speed. This value is the default speed for server
profile connections mapped to this network. The server administrator can override this setting on an
individual profile connection.
