Fibre Channel Settings (Misc.) screen

Automatic Login Redistribution is an advanced option that can be enabled for a Virtual Connect fabric that

is located on a FlexFabric module. You can configure the link stability interval parameter on a VC domain

basis. This interval defines the number of seconds that the VC fabric uplink(s) have to stabilize before the

FlexFabric module attempts to load balance the logins.
Access this screen in one of the following ways:

Click WWN Settings under Fibre Channel Settings in the left navigation tree, and then click the Misc.

tab.

Select Fibre Channel Settings from the Configure pull-down menu, and then click the Misc. tab.

If you define FC fabrics a FlexFabric module and choose the advanced option for automatic redistribution,
you can set the time interval to wait after a link becomes stable before automatic redistribution occurs within

the fabric. The interval can be between 1 and 1800 seconds, in 1-second increments. Set the interval to the

preferred value, and then click Apply. The same interval applies to all Virtual Connect fabrics with automatic

redistribution chosen. The default value is 30 seconds.
