Description

LoadBalance

Performs load balancing on a fabric configured for manual login re-distribution. This

option is not supported for DirectAttach fabrics.

Properties

Name (optional)

The new name of the fabric

Speed (optional) The port speed for the uplink ports in the fabric. Values include "Auto", "2Gb", "4Gb",

and "8Gb". The default port speed is "Auto".

Speed restrictions:

For the HP VC 4Gb FC Module, if the value 8Gb is chosen, VCM translates the

value to "Auto", which allows the module to connect to the SAN switch at optimal

speed.

For the HP VC 8Gb 24-Port FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, HP VC

FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Module, HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module, valid

speed values include "Auto","2Gb","4Gb", and "8Gb".

LinkDist

(optional)

Specifies the login re-distribution scheme for load balancing. Values include "Auto"
and "Manual". The default login re-distribution is "Manual" for a "FabricAttach"

fabric. Login re-distribution is not supported for "DirectAttach" fabrics.

The HP VC 4Gb FC Module, HP VC 8Gb 20-Port FC Module, and HP VC 8Gb 24-Port
FC Module support only manual login re-distribution. The HP VC FlexFabric

10Gb/24-port Module and HP VC FlexFabric 20/40 F8 Module support both auto

and manual login re-distribution.

Ports (optional) A list of one or more logical FC ports to be added to the fabric. Specify each port in the

format ",,...", where port is the interconnect module port being

modified in the fabric (affects all modules within a bay group).

For HP VC FlexFabric 10Gb/24-port Modules, port numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4

correspond to ports X1, X2, X3, and X4, respectively.

For HP VC FlexFabric-20/40 F8 Modules, port numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8

correspond to ports X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, and X8, respectively. Ports X1

through X4 support Ethernet and Fibre Channel traffic. Port pairs X5/X6 and
X7/X8 carry a single type of network traffic, either Ethernet or Fibre Channel.

PrefSpeedType

(optional)

Preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values are

"Auto" and "Custom". "Custom" allows the user to configure the speed. The default

value is "Auto". This property is configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from the
FlexFabric interconnect module.

PrefSpeed

(required if

PrefSpeedType is

"Custom")

The preferred connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric. Values

range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property is configured only if

the fabric has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.

MaxSpeedType

(optional)

The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values are 'Unrestricted' and 'Custom'. 'Custom' allows the user to configure the

speed. The default value is 'Unrestricted'. This property is configured only if the fabric

has uplink ports from the FlexFabric interconnect module.

MaxSpeed

(required if

MaxSpeedType is

"Custom")

The maximum connection speed for any FCoE connection attached to this fabric.
Values range from 100Mb to 8Gb in 100Mb increments. This property can be

configured only if the fabric has uplink ports from FlexFabric interconnect module.
