Virtual Connect server profiles 206
Column name Description
WWPN
As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware WWN for mapped connections
appears. For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to
appear. If the profile is assigned, the WWN assigned to the port appears. If
the profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
WWNs, the VC-defined WWN appears. If the profile is using hardware
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
Mapping
Server hardware mapping assignment.
Action
Delete a connection. Connections can be removed starting with the last
connection in the list.
FCoE HBA Connections
Port
Relative order of the FCoE port on the server receiving the profile
Connected to
Bay number of the VC 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 VC module
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
network.
Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available
bandwidth for the port.
Preferred—Use the preferred speed of the SAN Fabric or FCoE network
selected for this connection. If no preferred speed is configured, VCM
determines the speed.
Custom—Allows you to select a custom port speed setting between 100Mb
and the configured maximum connection speed in 100Mb increments.
Disabled—The FCoE connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.
1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for
the FCoE connection assigned to a SAN Fabric.
Allocated Port Speed (Min-Max)
Allocated bandwidth of the port. See "Bandwidth assignment (on page
171)."
WWPN
As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware WWN for mapped connections
appears. For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to
appear. If the profile is assigned, the WWN assigned to the port appears. If
the profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
WWNs, the VC-defined WWN appears. If the profile is using hardware
WWNs, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
MAC
As of VC 3.70, the actual hardware MAC for mapped connections appears.
For unmapped connections, FACTORY-DEFAULT continues to appear. If the
profile is assigned, the MAC address assigned to the port appears. If the
profile is unassigned and the domain is set to show factory default MAC
addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears. If the profile is using VC-defined
MAC addresses, the VC-defined MAC address appears. If the profile is using
hardware MAC addresses, FACTORY-DEFAULT appears.
