If LIN Alerts are enabled, you can receive e-mail notification when a LIN
occurs. To receive e-mail notification, you must configure and enable this
feature in the Maintenance menu of the StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager
(HAFM) and enable e-mail notification through the Enable E-Mail
Notification option in the Element Manager’s Maintenance menu.
For additional information about LIN alerts, see “
■
Type—Choose each port’s type (G_Port, E_Port, or F_Port) in this column
from the drop-down list.
Note:
If director firmware level is below 6.0 and FICON management style is
enabled, you cannot change port types unless the optional SANtegrity Binding
feature is installed. If ports are configured as E_Ports in Open Systems
management style, and you install SANtegrity Binding before changing to FICON
management style, the ports will remain as E_Ports when you change to FICON
management style. If SANtegrity Binding is not installed, setting a director to
FICON management style will change all E_ports to G_Ports.
■
Port Binding—Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column
enables the Binding state of the port.
■
Speed—Click the Speed column for a specific port, and then click 2 Gig,
1 Gig, or Negotiate. This sets the data rate for the port. Choosing Negotiate
allows the port to negotiate the data speed with an attached device. Follow this
rule when setting the data speed:
— Only set the speed to 2 Gig on ports that support this speed. If the port
optics do not support 2 Gig, a warning displays stating that the optical
transceiver in the port does not support the data rate.
— Do not set the port speed greater than the director speed. For example, if
you set the port speed to 2 Gig and the director data speed is set to 1 Gig,
an error displays stating that port speeds cannot be configured at higher
data rates than the director speed. The director speed is set through the
Configure Operating Parameters dialog box (Director 2/64 only).
