Changing a Fibre Channel Interface Card Configuration Using Telnet
The Telnet interface can be used to change several parameters that control how
the Interface Manager performs tasks. These parameters are found in the Fibre
Channel Configuration menu.
To get to the Fibre Channel Configuration menu, do the following:
1. Log into the Interface Manager using a Telnet session as described in
Accessing Telnet on page 38.
2. Select [3] from the Main menu.
3. Select [2] from the Interface Card menu.
Choosing Which Card to be Configured
To choose which Fibre Channel interface card is to be configured, do the
following:
1. Select [1] from the Fibre Channel Configuration menu.
2. Enter the slot number of the card to be configured.
Note Slot number1 should contain the RMC (disregard the card type
number 2 on the card, the correct slot number is 1). Slot number
2 should contain the Controller card (disregard the card type
number 3 on the card, the correct slot number is 2). Interface
cards are in slots numbered 3 through 12.
Only the interface cards that are listed on the screen are valid
choices to be configured.
The parameters that can be changed include:
— the number of controller LUNs
— the port mode value (N_port vs. Auto-Sense),
— the initiator mode buffered tape writes,
— the ability to perform Auto-Indexed mapping.
