Example: Consider the 4/16 SAN Switch, which has 16 ports and total buffers of 272 The maximum remaining number of buffer credits after each port is reserved is: 272 - (16 * 8) = 144 buffers Where: 16 = the number of ports in a port group retrieved from Table 81. 8 = the number of reserved buffers 272 = a static number retrieved from Table 81. If you allocate the entire 144 + 8 reserved buffers = 152 buffers to a single port; you can have one port 146km @ 2G or 292km @ 1G. How many 50km ports you can configure? If you have a distance of 50km at 1 Gbps then 144 / (31 - 8) = 6 ports NOTE: The 10 Gbps FC10-6 blade has two port groups of three ports each. For extended ISLs, all buffers available to a group are used to support one port at up to 120 km. Displaying the remaining buffers in a port group Issue the portbuffershow command to display all of the long distance buffer information for all the port groups of the switch. Use the following syntax: portbuffershow [[slotnumber/]portnumber] slotnumber portnumber For bladed systems only, specifies the slot number of the port group to display, followed by a slash (/). Specifies the number of a port associated with the port group, relative to its slot for bladed systems. Use switchShow for a list of valid ports. 1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin. 366 Administering Extended Fabrics
