HP Virtual Connect 4Gb Fibre Channel Module for c-Class BladeSystem - Manual (Page 178)

Virtual Connect server profiles 178
Column name Description
Auto—The maximum port speed is determined by the maximum configured
speed for the network.
Preferred—The speed of the network is the same as the preferred speed of the
network to which the connection is associated. If no preferred speed is
configured for a network, it behaves like "Auto".
Custom—You can configure any speed from 100Mb to the maximum
configured speed for the network in 100-Mb increments.*
For all speed types, the maximum port speed is determined by the maximum
configured speed for the network. If the speed type is "Auto," VCM
determines the appropriate port speed based on the available bandwidth for
the port. The configured port speed behaves like Auto (default). If the speed
type is "Disabled," bandwidth is not allocated. You can only set the minimum
port speed here. The maximum is set in the port link speed.
Boot Setting Enables or disables offload or boot on the network connection. Valid values
are DISABLED, PRIMARY, (SECONDARY), and USE-BIOS. For more
information, see "Creating iSCSI connections (on page 185 )." After selecting
an option, you must click outside the grid to complete the selection.
MAC
Type of MAC address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect domain
Action Perform delete operations
FC HBA Connections
Port Relative order of the Fibre Channel port on the server receiving the profile
Connected to Bay number of the VC-FC module to which the port is connected
FC SAN Name Name of the SAN fabric to which the port is connected, or Unassigned
Status Status of the Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port
Port Speed Type Speed of the VC-FC module port connected to the server HBA port. Can be set
to "1", "2", "4", "8", "Auto", or "Disabled".
Auto—VCM determines the appropriate port speed based on the available
bandwidth for the port.
Disabled—The connection is disabled and no bandwidth is allocated.
1,2,4, and 8Gb—Predefined custom port speed selection that can be used for
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
Type of WWN address assignment configured for the Virtual Connect
domain
Action Perform delete operations
FCoE HBA Connections
Port Relative order of the port on the server receiving the profile
Connected to Bay number of the FlexFabric 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 Fibre Channel module port connected to the server HBA port. The
FCoE downlink port status of LOGGED-IN means that the Ethernet virtual port
is in a linked state and that there is at least one FCoE login. The FCoE
downlink port status of NOT-LOGGED-IN means that either the Ethernet
virtual port is in an unlinked state or that there are no FCoE logins.
Port Speed Type Requested speed for the FlexFabric connection.
If an FCoE network is assigned to the connection, the supported port speed
