Fibre Controller Options (External Fibre Controllers Only)
The Fibre button only displays in the Controller Options dialog box when a
Mylex Fibre Channel RAID Controller is currently selected.
Click the Fibre button in the Controller Options dialog box to inspect and/or
change Fibre options for External Fibre RAID Controllers. These options
should remain at their defaults unless you have a high degree of expertise
with External Fibre RAID Controllers.
Figure 4-27. Fibre Controller Options Dialog Box
In the Fibre Controller Options dialog box (Figure 4-27), you have the
option to do any of the following:
• Enable/Disable Node Name Retention. When enabled, each controller
shares its node name with its partner controller, and those names are
used through all phases of failover and failback.
• Set Hard Loop IDs for each controller and port combination. Enable a
controller/port combination by checking its check box. Values allow
use of the same Loop IDs all the time. Some Fibre HBAs work better
with this.
