Port definition
On the Storage Entry: SAN and Add/Modify Storage Pool Entry: SAN screens, the Port Selection
table allows you to define the ports that can be used to access the volume selections for this logical
server.
Any communication with SAN storage starts with the server’s Fibre Channel ports. Ports are added
in sequential order. For each port, you must select the fabric from a drop-down menu with which
the port will communicate. Each port is created with an automatically generated server WWN
assigned to it. This WWN, like a MAC address for NICs, is used to uniquely identify this FC port
to the SAN. The storage administrator provides access to these ports when pre-presenting LUNs.
Define one logical port for each server port (physical HBA port) by performing the following steps.
1. Click the Add Port button to add a row to the Port Selection table.
2. Select a value from the Fabric drop-down menu.
3. Select a value from the Speed drop-down menu.
For Fibre Channel ports, select 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, or Auto (FC).
For Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) ports, select 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb (FCoE) or Custom
(FCoE) from the drop-down menu. If you select Custom (FCoE), enter a port speed in the text
box. Custom port speed values can be 0.1 through 10.0 Gb, in increments of 0.1Gb.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each port for this storage pool entry.
5. To remove the last port added to the table, click the Remove Last Port button. Ports must be
removed in the reverse order in which they were added.
