Configuring Fibre Channel ports

Use the Port pane (Figure 21) to configure Fibre Channel ports in the array. You can also use this pane to

modify the port configuration when the system is operating.

NOTE: You cannot configure Fibre Channel ports and perform operations related to NAS channel

adapters at the same time. Therefore, when you perform operations on a NAS channel adapter first in the

Port pane, you cannot configure Fibre Channel ports. Click Apply once to apply changes to the array,

and then configure the Fibre Channel port.

Specifying Fibre Channel topologies

The term topology refers to how devices are connected to each other. For more information, see ”Fibre

Channel topologies” on page 25.

1. Start LUN Manager, and display the Port pane (Figure 21).

2. In the Package tree, select the Fibre folder or a Fibre Channel channel adapter.

•If you select the Fibre folder, the Port table displays a list of Fibre Channel ports in the array.

• If you select a channel adapter, the Port table displays a list of Fibre Channel ports on the channel

adapter.

3. In the Port table or Select a Port list, select a port. The Change Port Mode box displays information

about the selected port.

4. If you are using a fabric switch, select Enable in the Fabric list.

If you are not using a fabric switch, select Disable in the Fabric list.

5. In the Connection list, select FC-AL or P-to-P.

NOTE: If you are using a fabric switch, see the fabric switch’s documentation to check if the
