Item Description
Speed (optional)
The port speed for the uplink ports in the fabric. Values include "Auto", "2Gb", "4Gb",
and "8Gb". The default port speed is "Auto".
Speed restrictions:
•
For the HP VC 4Gb FC Module, if the value is 8Gb, VCM translates the value to
"Auto", allowing the module to connect to the SAN switch at optimal speed.
•
For the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, HP VC
FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module, and HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 module,
values include "Auto", "2Gb", "4Gb", and "8Gb".
LinkDist
(optional)
The login re-distribution scheme to use for load balancing. Values include "Auto" and
"Manual". The default login re-distribution is "Manual" for a "FabricAttach" fabric.
Login re-distribution is not supported for "DirectAttach" fabrics.
The HP VC 4Gb FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, and HP VC 8Gb 24-Port
Module support only manual login redistribution. The HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port
Module and HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module support both auto and manual login
redistribution.
PrefSpeedType
(optional)
Preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values are
"Auto" and "Custom". "Custom" allows configuration of the preferred speed. The
default value is "Auto" and can be configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from
the FlexFabric interconnect module.
PrefSpeed
(required if
PrefSpeedType is
"Custom")
The preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values
range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property can be configured
only if the fabric has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.
MaxSpeedType
(optional)
The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values are "Unrestricted" and "Custom". "Custom" allows the user to configure the
speed. The default value is "Unrestricted". This property can be configured only if the
fabric has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.
MaxSpeed
(required if
MaxSpeedType is
"Custom")
The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property can be
configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.
