Loop topology
FC Loop ID: The user may need to change the FC Loop ID
if the controller needs to be at a specific address or if the sys-
tem checks addresses in reverse order (lower address first).
There are two options:
SOFT: Use this setting if it does not matter whether the con-
troller’s Loop ID changes everytime during power UP/DOWN.
This setting lets the FC loop initialization process determine
the Loop ID.
Any number between 0-125: Select a specific number if the
Loop ID is to remain the same during power UP/DOWN. The
Disk Array Administrator Utility cannot tell the user which Loop
IDs are available. To be sure that the specified Loop ID was
successfully assigned, check the Loop ID after rebooting the
controller. If the controller cannot get the specified Loop ID
during the loop initialization process, it will try to get a soft ad-
dress instead.
Topology All modes Topology: Be sure that the controller’s topology setting is cor-
rect for the configuration.
The topology can be set to:
Loop: Use this option for all configurations except when the
controller is connected to a switch F-port.
Point-to-Point: Use this option when connecting the controller
to a switch F-port.
Auto Detection: Automatically detects the configuration based
on the loop initialization process or port address of switch or
fabric. Use this option when unsure of the topology used or
when planning to change the configuration (ie. during testing
of the controller).
