Performs load balancing on a fabric configured for manual login re-distribution. This

The new name of the fabric
Speed (optional)
The port speed for the uplink ports in the fabric. Valid values include "Auto", "2Gb",
"4Gb", and "8Gb". The default port speed is "Auto".
Speed restrictions:
•
For the HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module, if the value 8Gb is chosen, VCM
translates the value to "Auto", which allows the module to connect to the SAN
switch at optimal speed.
•
For the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, and HP
VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module, valid speed values include
"Auto","2Gb","4Gb", and "8Gb".
LinkDist
(optional)
Specifies the login re-distribution scheme for load balancing. Valid values include
"Auto" and "Manual". The default login re-distribution is "Manual" for a
"FabricAttach" fabric. Login re-distribution is not supported for "DirectAttach" fabrics.
The HP 4Gb VC-FC Module, HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-
Port
FC Module, and HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module support only manual login
re-distribution. The HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module supports both auto and
manual login re-distribution.
