Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Deployment Guide

Configure FC ports

Perform the following steps to configure FC ports:

1. In the Welcome panel, select System Settings, and then click the Ports tab.
2. On the Port Settings tab, set the port-specific options:
   • Set the Speed option to the proper value to communicate with the host, or to auto, which auto-negotiates the proper link speed. Because a speed mismatch prevents communication between the port and host, set a speed only if you need to force the port to use a known speed.
   • Set the Connection Mode to either point-to-point or auto:
     • point-to-point – Fibre Channel point-to-point.
     • auto – Automatically sets the mode based on the detected connection type.
3. Perform one of the following:
   • To save your settings and continue configuring your system, click Apply.
   • To save your settings and close the panel, click Apply and Close.
   A confirmation panel appears.
4. Click OK.
