HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services Platform Data Path Module User Guide (5697-0772, November 2010)

type [port name]
UNKNOWN, AUTO, FABRIC, LOOP
FABRIC: the port functions only in conjunction with a single-attached device that is capable
of fabric mode operation. The default is fabric mode, with the fabric yielding better throughput,
and links recover more quickly.
NOTE:
Only the FABRIC port name is supported with the HP StorageWorks SAN Virtualization Services
Platform.
Notes
You must restart the system for port capability or port speed changes to take effect.
maxframesize is not a keyword for this command because all ports must share the same frame
size. See the Modify ports command.
