Modifying the Connection Properties
Click the Connections tab to modify the connection properties, shown in
Table 13.
Table 13: Connections Tab in the Controller Properties Window
What You Can Change Description
Connection name The connection name is a unique string of
alphanumeric or punctuation characters that identifies
a connection between a host bus adapter and the
HSxxx controller. The host performs a Fibre Channel
bus scan when it receives notification of a change to
the fabric. As part of its device discovery process, the
host then identifies the HSxxx as a SCSI device and
login to the HSxxx controller. As the host performs the
logs into, the HSxxx controller allocates an entry in the
host connections table and assigns a connection name
to the new connection. Subsequent logins by the host
will use this same connection name and entry.
Controller-produced connection names take the form
“!NEWCONN
nn ”, where nn is a two-character,
decimal integer. This string format is not allowed for
user-created connections.
Operating system You can set your controller to operate with a variety of
operating systems. Refer to the release notes for
operating systems compatibility.
Unit offset A decimal integer used to determine the LUN address
of a virtual disk on a specific connection. Offsets can
range from decimal 0-199.
Delete You can delete a connection by placing a check in the
delete box. After placing a check in one or more of the
boxes, click the Delete button. A confirmation dialog
window opens listing the connections to be deleted.
Click the OK button to delete. A confirmation message
is displayed when the deletion is complete.
Note: Only connections on the current page can be
deleted (a maximum of 8).
