
Adapter Temperature – If the adapter's temperature is not available, Not Supported is displayed. If supported by the
adapter, this field displays the following adapter temperature-related status messages:
– Normal: The adapter’s temperature is within normal operational range.
– Warning: The adapter’s temperature is beyond normal operational range. If the temperature continues to increase,
the adapter shuts down. You must determine the cause of the temperature issue and fix it immediately. Check for
system cooling issues. Common causes of system cooling issues include clogged air filters, inoperative fans, and air
conditioning issues that cause high ambient air temperatures.
– Exceeds operational range – Adapter stopped: The temperature has reached a critical limit, forcing the adapter to
shut down. You must determine the cause of the temperature issue and fix it before resuming operation. Check for
system cooling issues. Common causes of system cooling issues include clogged air filters, inoperative fans, and air
conditioning issues that cause high ambient air temperatures.
After the system overheating issue is resolved and the adapter has cooled down, reboot the system, or if the system
supports hot swapping, cycle the power of the adapter slot.
 Trunking area:
– When supported by the adapter, you can combine multiple physical FC links to form a single logical link. Once
created, you can view an aggregated port’s logical link speed and physical link status. See
Section 7.1.1, Configuring Trunking, for additional information.
7.1.1 Configuring Trunking
NOTE:
 Trunking is supported only on LPe35002 and LPe35004 adapters.
 Neither FA-PWWN nor Dynamic D_Port can coexist with the trunking feature on LPe35000-series adapters. If
trunking is enabled, the firmware automatically disables FA-PWWN and Dynamic D_Port.
 Trunking is not supported at 8 Gb/s and the link will not come up at this speed.
 Before you configure trunking on the Emulex adapter, follow the instructions from Brocade
®
for configuring
trunking on the switch.
The Adapter Information tab enables you to configure trunking (also called FC port aggregation), which combines multiple
physical FC links to form a single logical link (aggregated port). The aggregated port’s maximum link speed is the sum of the
maximum link speeds of the individual physical links comprising the aggregated port. For example, an aggregated port
comprised of two physical links running at 64 Gb/s each will have a potential logical (aggregate) link speed of 128 Gb/s. The
actual link speed of the aggregated port depends on the states (active or non-active) of the individual physical links
comprising the aggregated port.
The physical links comprising an aggregated port are referred to as lanes. Both 2-lane and 4-lane aggregated ports are
supported. For dual-port adapters, only 2-lane port aggregation is possible. If 2-lane port aggregation is configured on a dual-
port adapter, the two physical links are combined to form a single 2-lane aggregated port whose aggregate speed is
potentially 128 Gb/s assuming both physical links are active.
LPe35004 adapters support both 2-lane port aggregation and 4-lane port aggregation. If 2-lane port aggregation is
configured on an LPe35004 adapter, the four physical links on the adapter are divided among two separate aggregated
ports. The two lowest numbered physical links form the first aggregated port, and the two highest number physical links will
form the second aggregated port. If 4-lane port aggregation is configured on an LPe35004 adapter, all four physical links are
combined to form a single 4-lane trunk whose aggregate speed is potentially 256 Gb/s, assuming all four links are active.
