• If you selected hard addressing for a loop connection, select the
AL_PA (fixed address) or choose auto-select. Auto-select is an
option under hard addressing that selects an available address
and then uses it as a hard address from then on.
7. Press [OK] when complete to save the changes, or select [QUIT] to
return to the beginning of the fibre configuration menu. If you select
[QUIT] , a message will display indicating the old values will be
retained.
If you select [OK] , a message displays indicating that the settings are
being stored onto the Fibre Channel interface. If this is successful, a
message displays indicating that the new settings will be attempted
at the next restart.
8. To immediately apply the new settings, select [RESTART] , or select
[DONE] to wait until the next power cycle.
When the Fibre Channel interface is restarted, or when the library is
power-cycled,
FUTURE SETTINGS are copied into CURRENT SETTINGS .
The Fibre Channel interface always attempts to connect using
CURRENT SETTINGS .
• If you select [RESTART] , the Fibre Channel interface is restarted.
This should not be attempted if data transfers or library operations
are in progress. The
[RESTART] operation normally completes
within 90 seconds. The display will report the status of the
operation when it is complete.
NOTE The actual connection achieved depends on the external topology and
network. Consequently,
CURRENT STATUS may differ from CURRENT
SETTINGS .
NOTE You can also change configuration from remote access. See “Using the
Remote Management Card” on page 3-9.
