Virtual Connect server profiles 185
Column name Description
MAC
Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain
Action
Perform delete operations
iSCSI HBA Connections
Port
Relative order of the port on the server receiving the profile
Network Name
Unassigned or name of the network associated with this port
Status
Displays the current linked status of the selected port
Port Speed Type
The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include
"Auto", "Preferred", "Custom", and "Disabled". The default value is
"Preferred".
Auto—The maximum port speed is determined by the maximum configured
speed for the network.
Preferred—The speed of the network is the same as the preferred speed of the
network to which the connection is associated. If no preferred speed is
configured for a network, it behaves like "Auto".
Custom—You can configure any speed from 100Mb to the maximum
configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.*
For all speed types, the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum
configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM
determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for
the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed
type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum
port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed.
Boot Setting
Enables or disables offload or boot on the network connection. Valid values
are DISABLED, PRIMARY, (SECONDARY), and USE-BIOS. For more
information, see "Creating iSCSI connections (on page 192)." After selecting
an option, you must click outside the grid to complete the selection.
