Virtual Connect fabrics 155
Use this screen to edit a SAN fabric configuration.
The following table describes the fields within the Edit SAN Fabric screen.
Field Description
Fabric
Fabric Name
Descriptive name for the fabric. Do not use spaces.
Status
Status of the fabric
Fabric Type
The type of fabric, FabricAttach or DirectAttach. After a fabric is defined, its type
cannot be changed.
Login Re-distribution
Login Re-distribution setting for the fabric. For all standard VC-FC modules, this is
always Manual. For FlexFabric modules, this can be set as described in "Login
re-distribution (on page 151)" when the fabric type is set to FabricAttach.
Configured Speed
Requested speed of the uplink port. Valid values once allowed are 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb,
and Auto. If 8Gb is chosen for the uplink speed on an FC module that does not support
8Gb, the value is automatically translated to "Auto" within VCM. This allows the
module to connect at the highest supported speed.
Enclosure Uplink Ports
Uplink Port
Faceplate name of the port
Bay
Enclosure bay selected for the SAN fabric
Port Status
Shows the link status, link speed, and connectivity of the port. If the port is unlinked and
no connectivity exists, the cause is displayed. For more information about possible
causes, see "Port status conditions (on page 264)."
Speed
Actual, connected speed of the uplink port
Connected To
WWN of the principal switch on the SAN fabric that this port is connected to on the
other end
Action
Perform delete operations
The following table describes the available actions in the Edit SAN Fabric screen. Clicking another link in the
pull-down menu or left navigation tree causes the current edits that have not been applied to be lost.
