and providing the associated job ID. For more information see “show job” (page 67).
VC firmware version 3.0x and earlier limit the number of FC connections to one per FC interconnect
bay. In VC 3.10, this is raised to one per blade in the case of multi-blade servers. In VC firmware
3.15 and later, it is possible to create up to four FC connections per interconnect bay for any
server.
FC connection is generated in the order of the FC module interconnect bay position. In the case
of two FC modules (bay 5 and bay 6) in the interconnect bay, the order of FC connections is
displayed in Table 12.

For a multi-blade server, the pattern will repeat based on the number of blades. Table 13 displays
FC connections for a four-blade server.
