Description Item
To change settings for a port, select the port from this list. Select a Port
The text box on the left displays the current data transfer speed for the selected
port. Host Speed
Use the list on the right to specify the data transfer speed for the selected port. If
Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the data transfer speed to
1 Gbps, 2 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 8 Gbps (gigabits per second).
NOTE: If you are using 2 Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer speed of the
CHF port to 2 Gbps. If you are using 1 Gbps HBA and switch, set the transfer
speed of the CHF port to 1 Gbps. If you are using 4 Gbps HBA and switch, set the
transfer speed of the CHF port to 4 Gbps. If you are using 8 Gbps HBA and switch,
set the transfer speed of the CHF port to 8 Gbps. However, the transfer speed of
the CHF port cannot be set to 1 Gbps when the CHF is 8US. Therefore, 1 Gbps
HBA and switch cannot be connected. If the Auto Negotiation setting is required,
the linkup may become improper at server reboot. Check the channel LED, and if
it is blinking, remove and re-insert the cable to perform the signal synchronization
and linkup.
When the transfer speed of the CHF port is set to Auto, the data might not be
transferred at the maximum speed, depending on the connected device. Confirm
that the transfer speed is at the Host Speed displayed in the Port list when you start
the storage system, HBA, or switch. When the transfer speed is not at the maximum
speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right or remove and re-insert
the cable.
The text box on the left shows the address of the selected port. Fibre Addr.
Use the list on the right to specify the address of the selected port.
The text box on the left indicates whether a fabric switch is used. This option must
be set to ON if a fabric switch is used. This option must be set to OFF if a fabric
switch is not used. Fabric
Use the list on the right to specify whether a fabric switch is used.
The text box on the left indicates the topology. This text box can display FC-AL or
P-to-P (point-to-point). Connection
The list on the right lets you specify the topology.
CAUTION: Some fabric switches require you to specify the point-to-point topology.
If your system uses a fabric switch, you must check the documentation for the fabric
switch to determine whether your switch requires the point-to-point topology.
