Configuring Minimum and Maximum Bandwidth

To configure bandwidth:
1. On the Controller Configuration screen, select Configure Bandwidth and press

<Enter>. The Configure Bandwidth screen appears.

Figure 11-16 Configure Bandwidth Screen

2. Select a specific function under Configure Minimum Bandwidth or Configure

Maximum Bandwidth and press <Enter>.

The Minimum Bandwidth value is the least amount of bandwidth that the

function can provide. It is represented as a percentage. The Minimum

Bandwidth value must be less than or equal to the Maximum Bandwidth value.

The total of the Minimum Bandwidth values for all enabled functions on that

port must be equal to 100.

Note: A Minimum Bandwidth value of 0 is a valid value. When all of the

partitions’ Minimum Bandwidth values are zero, the bandwidth is

distributed equally among the current active partitions. If a specific

partition’s Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth values are

0, that partition’s logical link will be brought down.

The Maximum Bandwidth value is the greatest amount of bandwidth that the

function can provide. It is represented as a percentage.

3. Enter the value for the specified function and press <Enter>.
4. When you are finished configuring bandwidths, press <Esc> to return to the

Controller Configuration screen.

Note: To disable a function, set the Minimum Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth

values to 0.
