Configuring Local Ports
The Configure Local Ports wizard simplifies configuration and allows you to configure
Legacy Mode and Virtual Port Mode local ports through a single wizard.
1 From the Storage Management menu, choose System > Setup > Configure Local Ports.
The Configure Local Ports wizard appears. The wizard displays tabs for each transport
type (FC, iSCSI, and SAS) present on the system. Information presented on tabs varies
by operational mode and by transport type. Operational mode is displayed in the lower
left of the window.
Note
Sample screens for transport types are shown in
Figure 166 on page 202
through
Figure 168 on page 203
.
2 Click the tab for the transport type you want to view. Information displayed varies based
on transport type and mode:
•

lowest.
•
Magnifying glass icon: click to open the Local Port Location window that displays
information about the port and shows a physical view of the IO cards.

•
World Wide Name: is a unique identifier which identifies a particular FC, iSCSI, or
SAS target.
•

Modifying port configuration after volumes have been mapped to servers may cause
those volumes to go off-line. (Not displayed for SAS ports in Legacy Mode.)
•
Initiator Count: Number of remote ports with a role of initiator.
•
Target Count: Number of remote ports with a role of target (For FC and SAS, disks
show up as targets.)

Both Count: Number of ports that can both send and receive data (such as a second
Storage Center acting as a server).
•
Enclosure Connected: Can be Yes or No and is displayed for FC ports only – Virtual
Ports and Legacy Modes. Setting the value to Yes prevents the Configure Local
Ports wizard from setting front-end values on FC ports attached to an enclosure.
•
Slot Type: PCI-X or PCI-E.
