Configuring the non-E-ports on the Brocade switch
You must configure the non-E-ports on the FC switch. In a MetroCluster configuration, these are the ports that connect the switch to the HBA initiators, FC-VI interconnects, and FC-to-SAS bridges. These steps must be done for each port.
In the following example, the ports connect an FC-to-SAS bridge:
Port 6 on FC_FC_switch_A_1 at Site_A
Port 6 on FC_FC_switch_B_1 at Site_B
- Configure the port speed for each non-E-port: portcfgspeed port speed You should use the highest common speed, which is the highest speed supported by all components in the data path: the SFP, the switch port that the SFP is installed on, and the connected device (HBA, bridge, and so on).
For example, the components might have the following supported speeds:
The SFP is capable of 4, 8, or 16 GB.
The switch port is capable of 4, 8, or 16 GB.
The connected HBA maximum speed is 16 GB.
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgspeed 6 16
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgspeed 6 16 - Verify the settings: portcfgshow In the example output, port 6 has the following settings; speed is set to 16G:
FC_switch_A_1:admin> portcfgshow
FC_switch_B_1:admin> portcfgshowPorts of Slot 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
