the connection.

For the 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

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

173

)."

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
