Column name Description
determines the speed.
Custom—Allows you to select a custom port speed setting between 100Mb
and the configured maximum connection speed in 100Mb increments.
Disabled—The FCoE connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.
1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for
the FCoE connection assigned to a SAN Fabric.
Allocated Port Speed (Min-Max)
Allocated bandwidth of the port. See "Bandwidth assignment (on page
175)."
WWPN
As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware WWN for mapped connections
appears. For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to
appear. If the profile is assigned, the WWN assigned to the port appears. If
the profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
WWNs, the VC-defined WWN appears. If the profile is using hardware
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
MAC
As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.
For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the
profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the
profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC
addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
MAC addresses, the VC-defined MAC address appears. If the profile is using
hardware MAC addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
Mapping
Server hardware mapping assignment. See "iSCSI and FCoE port
assignments (on page 173)."
Action
Delete a connection. Connections can be removed starting with the last
connection in the list.
* Only Flex-10 NICs and FlexFabric NICs connected to Flex-10 modules and FlexFabric modules are able to
set the transmit bandwidth allocation. Other parts are restricted to the actual physical speed (1Gb).
The following table describes the available actions in the Edit Server Profile screen. Clicking another link in
the pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes current edits that have not been applied to be lost.
Task Action
Edit a profile name
Type a name in the Profile Name field.
Hide or show unused FlexNICs
Select Hide Unused FlexNICs to prevent the operating system from
enumerating FlexNICs. Deselect Hide Unused FlexNICs to enumerate all
FlexNICs.
The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.10 is to hide the unused
FlexNICs.
The default setting for profiles created using VC 4.01 or earlier is to show the
unused FlexNICs. You must manually hide unused FlexNICs for a profile
created in VC 4.01 or earlier by editing the profile and selecting the Hide
Unused FlexNICs option.
Selecting this option might reorder NIC enumeration in the host operating
system. This can disrupt server communications and require the server
administrator to manually readjust the network configuration, such as NIC
teaming, to restore communication.
Change the associated network
access group
Click the Network Access Group pull-down arrow, and then select a network
access group.
