Configuring the Director
122 Director Element Manager User Guide
■ Director firmware must support the 2 Gb/s data rate. If you set the speed to
2 Gig and the firmware only supports 1 Gb/s, an error message displays
stating that the feature is not supported and providing the firmware level that
will support the higher speed.
At the Director Speed field, click 1 Gig or 2 Gig to select the speed of Fibre
Channel operation.
Note: Changing the director speed to 2 Gb/s with any 1 Gb/s FPM card installed will
cause the following warning/confirmation message to display: All FPM ports
will be held inactive while the director is configured to 2
Gb/sec speed. Do you want to continue?
Configuring Fabric Parameters
Use procedures in this section to set parameters on the director for fabric
operation through the Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box. These operating
parameters are stored in NV-RAM on the switch.
1. Verify that the director is set offline. For instructions, see the “Set Director
Online State” bullet on page 74.
Caution: Setting the director offline terminates all Fibre Channel connections.
2. Click Configure > Operating Parameters > Fabric Parameters in the
Element Manager window. The Configure Fabric Parameters dialog box
displays, as shown in Figure 33.
