Configuring VSANs and Interfaces
Configuring Interfaces
Note
HP-UX and AIX are two operating systems that utilize the FC ID in the device path to the
storage. For the switch to always assign the same FC ID to a device, persistent FC IDs and static
Domain ID must be configured for the VSAN.
•
Check the
FICON
check box if the VSAN is FICON-enabled.
Step 3
Click
Create
to add the VSAN.
Configuring Interfaces
The main function of a switch is to relay frames from one data link to another. To do that, the
characteristics of the interfaces through which the frames are sent and received must be defined. The
configured interfaces can be Fibre Channel interfaces, the management interface (mgmt0), or VSAN
interfaces.
The following procedures are used to move the ports on a switch of a previously created VSAN,
configure the interfaces, and add them to the VSAN.
Adding Interfaces to VSANs
To configure Fibre Channel interfaces, follow these steps:
Step 1
In the Physical Attributes pane, expand
Switches > Interfaces
then choose
FC Physical
.
You see the interface configuration in the Information pane.
Step 2
From the
General
tab, set the values for Mode Admin, Port VSAN membership, and Status Admin.
Step 3
Optionally, set other configuration parameters using the other tabs.
Step 4
Click
Apply Changes
.
Step 5
Click
Yes
