FC/FCoE protocol

You can use Storage Manager to configure FC/FCoE protocols.

  • Starting or stopping the FC or FCoE service
    The FC service enables you to manage FC target adapters for use with LUNs. You can use Storage Manager to start the FC service to bring the adapters online and to enable access to the LUNs on the storage system. You can stop the FC service to take the FC adapters offline and to disable access to the LUNs.
  • Changing an FC or FCoE node name
    If you replace a storage system chassis and reuse it in the same Fibre Channel SAN, the node name of the replaced storage system might be duplicated in certain cases. You can change the node name of the storage system by using Storage Manager .
  • The FCoE protocol
    Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a new model for connecting hosts to storage systems. Like the traditional FC protocol, FCoE maintains existing FC management and controls, but it uses a 10-gigabit Ethernet network as the hardware transport.
  • FC/FCoE window
    You can use the FC/FCoE window to start or stop the FC service.
