During the login process, the peer ports exchange a nonzero BB_SC_N value.
During frame transmission/reception, one port maintains counters to track the
R_RDY and frames received. Based on a periodic exchange of BB_SC_N values,
the receiving port determines how many R_RDYs should have been received.
BB-CR compares this value with the actual counters maintained at the receiving
port, from which the receiver can compute the actual quantity of credits lost, and
thus recover without incurring a link reset.
By default, BB-CR functionality is enabled on Marvell QLogic 2600 and 2770
Series Adapters that are operating at 16Gbps or higher, and that integrate with
Brocade Fabric OS Manager and Brocade Network Advisor.
From the FC Adapter Configuration menu, select the BB Credit Recovery option.
The following menu options allow you to view, enable, or disable support for
BB-CR on the selected adapter port:
BB Credit Config Menu
1: Info (shows the BB Credit Status as Enabled or Disabled)
2: Enable (enables BB-CR; requires a reboot to take effect)
3: Disable (disables BB-CR; requires a reboot to take effect)
Adapter Updates
3. Adapter Updates2. Fibre Channel Adapter
From the main menu, select the Adapter Updates option and then select 2 (Fibre
Channel Adapter). The Fibre Channel Adapter Update menu provides options to
update Flash memory, drivers, adapter parameters, the parameter template, and
the firmware preload and Fibre Channel SerDes tables, and to perform a Fibre
Channel firmware dump. For example:
Adapter Type Selection
1: Converged Network Adapter
2: Fibre Channel Adapter
(p or 0: Previous Menu; m or 98: Main Menu; ex or 99: Quit)
Please Enter Selection: 2
FC Adapter Update
1: Flash Update
2: Driver Update
3: Parameters Update
4: Parameters Template Update (available only for 8Gb adapters)
5: Firmware Preload Update
