Physically Identifying the Port
To physically determine which port you are configuring by causing the link and
activity LEDs of that port to blink:
1. On the configuration screen, select Port Identification and press <Enter>. The Port
Identification screen appears.
Figure 2-10 Port Identification Screen
2. The LEDs on your controller begin blinking. The selected port’s LED status
indicators blink on your controller until you select Done on this screen and press
<Enter>.
Note: Not all controllers have LEDs that are visible externally. If you are using an
add-in card in a blade server environment, the port identification or beaconing
capability does not work.
Erasing Ports and Controller Configuration
Note: When this setting is selected, all previous configuration settings are returned to
their factory default settings except for the current personality selection. Emulex
recommends performing this action to provide a clean environment for new
configuration settings to take effect.
To erase the ports and controller configuration:
1. On the configuration screen, select Erase Configuration and press <Enter>. A
warning appears asking if you want to erase the current configuration for all ports
of the controller.
2. Press <Y> to delete the configuration. You will receive another warning asking you
to confirm the permanent removal of the controller configuration.
3. Press <Y> to delete the configuration.
To exit the PXESelect utility after erasing the ports and controller configuration:
1. Follow the instructions on the bottom of the individual menu screens until you are
prompted to exit.
2. Press <Y> to exit. Depending on the settings that were changed, a reboot may be
necessary.
Note: For older systems, depending on the memory allocation method supported,
the PXESelect utility automatically reboots even when there are no changes
made to the system.
