Cannot configu
re a blank nickname
Nicknames cann

select cancel
to leave a nickname blank. Once a nickname has been configured, it
cannot be changed to be blank, that is, the nickname cannot be deleted. The nickname
can be assigned a new name.
Support for speed Auto-Negotiate
Auto-negotiate is supported. However, HP recommends that the port speed for E_Ports
(for Interswitch Links, or ISLs) be set to a specificportspeed(1Gb/sec or 2Gb/sec,as
appropriate for the speed of the Directors or Edge Switches being connected) instead
of to Negotiate.Usingaspecific port speed decreases the time for a fabric build in
response to some perturbation event in the fabric. Similarly, setting a specificportspeed
for N_Ports also decreases fabric build time. However, set ting a specificportspeedfor
N_Ports is not required.
There are a few older HBA devices that do not always succeed in logging in to a switch
port when the port speed is set for auto-negotiate.
Workaround
If an ol d
er HBA has difficultyloggingintoaswitchportthathasitsportspeed
configur
ed as Negotiate,configure that port speed to 1G b/sec or 2Gb/sec according to
the ope
ration speed of the HBA connected to that port.
