Virtual Connect server profiles  181 
Column name  Description 
configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.* 
For all speed types the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum 
configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM 
determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for 
the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed 
type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum 
port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed. 
Boot Setting 
Enables or disables offload or boot on the network connection. Valid values 
are DISABLED, PRIMARY, (SECONDARY), and USE-BIOS. For more 
information, see "Creating iSCSI connections (on page 188)." After selecting 
an option, you must click outside the grid to complete the selection. 
MAC 
Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain 
Action 
Perform delete operations 
FC HBA Connections 
Port 
Relative order of the Fibre Channel port on the server receiving the profile 
Connected to 
Bay number of the VC-FC module to which the port is connected 
FC SAN Name 
Name of the SAN fabric to which the port is connected, or Unassigned 
Status 
Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port 
Port Speed Type 
Speed of the VC-FC module port connected to the server HBA port. Can be set 
to "1", "2", "4", "8", "Auto", or "Disabled". 
Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available 
bandwidth for the port. 
Disabled—The connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated. 
1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for 
the connection. 
For the HP 4Gb VC-FC Module and HP Virtual Connect 4Gb FC Module, 
supported speed values include "Auto","1Gb","2Gb", "4Gb", and 
"Disabled". If the value is set to 8Gb, the speed is auto-negotiated by Virtual 
Connect.* 
WWPN 
Type of WWN address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect 
domain 
Action 
Perform delete operations 
FCoE HBA Connections 
Port 
Relative order of the port on the server receiving the profile 
Connected to 
Bay number of the FlexFabric module to which the port is connected 
FC SAN/FCoE Network Name 
Name of the SAN fabric or FCoE network to which the port is connected, or 
Unassigned 
Type 
Type of connection, SAN or FCOE depending on the fabric or FCoE selection 
Status 
Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port. The 
FCoE downlink port status of LOGGED-IN means that the Ethernet virtual port 
is in a linked state and that there is at least one FCoE login. The FCoE 
downlink port status of NOT-LOGGED-IN means that either the Ethernet 
virtual port is in an unlinked state or that there are no FCoE logins. 
Port Speed Type 
Requested speed for the FlexFabric connection.  
If an FCoE network is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed 
types are "Auto", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled". 
If a SAN Fabric is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed types 
are "1", "2", "4", "8", "Preferred", "Custom" and "Disabled".  
For all port speed types, if configured, the maximum allocated port speed is 
determined by the maximum connection speed for that SAN Fabric or FCoE
