Port I/O flow:

• Target: Receives I/O commands from a host
• Bidirectional

Port Security

LUN security (Enabled or Disabled)

Port Speed

Transfer speed, in Gbps, for the selected Fibre Channel port.

If Auto is selected, the storage system automatically sets the data transfer speed to 4, 8, 16, or 32 Gbps.

Caution: These cautions must be observed when setting speed on a Fibre Channel port:

• If a port supports 4, 8, 16 or 32 Gbps, use 4, 8, 16 or 32 Gbps for the port speed, respectively.
• If the Auto Negotiation setting is required, some links might not be up when the server is restarted. Check the channel lamp. If it is flashing, disconnect the cable, and then reconnect it to recover from the link-down state.
• If the port speed is set to Auto, some equipment might not be able to transfer data at the maximum speed.
• When you start a storage system, HBA, or switch, check the host speed displayed in the Port list. If the transfer speed is different from the maximum speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right, or disconnect, and then reconnect the cable.
• The available port speed that is specified in Port Speed is limited due to the combination of the type of the Fibre Channel port and the topology that is specified in Connection Type.
• If the transfer speed of the CHB (FC) port is set to Auto, the data might not be transferred at the maximum speed depending on the connected device. Confirm the transfer speed displayed in Speed in the Ports list when you start up the storage system, HBA, or switch. When the transfer speed is not the maximum speed, select the maximum speed from the list on the right or remove and reinsert the cable.

Address (Loop ID)

Address of the selected port

Fabric

Whether a fabric switch is on or off

Connection Type

Topology:

• FC-AL: Fibre Channel arbitrated loop
• P-to-P: Point-to-point

Caution: Some fabric switches require that you specify point-to-point topology. If you enable a fabric switch, check the documentation for the fabric switch to determine whether your switch requires point-to-point topology.
