Item Description
is specified, then the connection is marked as "Unassigned" and is associated
with a specific bay.
SpeedType (optional)
The requested operation speed for the server port. Valid values are "1Gb",
"2Gb", "4Gb", "8Gb", "Auto", "Custom", "Preferred", and "Disabled". The
default value is "Preferred". "Auto" does not apply to fabrics, and "1Gb" to
"8Gb" does not apply to FCoE networks.
If the SpeedType is "Custom", you can configure a speed from 100Mb to MAX
configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.
If the speed type is "Preferred", the speed of the FCoE connection is the same as
the preferred speed of the fabric or FCoE network to which the connection is
associated. If no preferred speed is configured for a fabric or FCoE network,
Virtual Connect determines the speed.
CustomSpeed (required
if SpeedType is Custom)
The user-defined speed for the server port. Valid values include 100Mb to
20Gb, or 100Mb to 8Gb for FCoE connections in a SAN fabric, configured in
100Mb increments.
The 20Gb maximum speed is dependent on 20Gb NICs and the HP VC
FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Module being present in the domain.
WWNAddressType
(optional)
The source of WWN address assignments to be used during the creation of the
new connection. If not specified, the default is the domain default. If
"User-Defined" is specified, both a Port WWN and Node WWN must also be
specified. Valid values are "Factory-Default", "User-Defined", or
"Pool-Specified".
To use the "Pool-
Specified" option, the domain WWN pool must be defined as
VC-defined or user-defined and the listed addresses must be available in the
current pool.
PortWWN (required if
WWNAddressType is
User-Defined or
Pool-Specified)
The user-defined Port WWN address to use for the connection. The PortWWN
must be an unused WWN address.
NodeWWN (required if
WWNAddressType is
User-Defined or
Pool-Specified)
The user-defined Node WWN address to use for the connection. The
NodeWWN must be an unused WWN address.
MACAddressType
(optional)
The source of MAC address assignments to be used during the creation of the
new connection. If not specified, the default is the domain default. If
"User-Defined" is specified, EthernetMAC must also be specified. Valid values
are "Factory-Default", "User-Defined", or "Pool-Specified".
EthernetMAC (required
if MACAddressType is
User-Defined or
Pool-Specified)
The user-defined or pool-specified Ethernet MAC address to use for the
connection
