Setting Fibre Channel Information

Follow the steps below to set and display fibre channel information:
The Fibre Channel information setting is performed in Management mode of the Storage
Navigator Modular. Therefore, the operation mode of Storage Navigator Modular needs to be
switched from Normal mode to Management Mode. (Refer to section 6.6.) In Normal mode,
you can only monitor the status of AMS200, but you cannot change the settings.
Back up all data before performing this procedure. (If a mistake in operation is made, user
data in the subsystem can be lost.)
Note: Depending on the Fibre Channel interface cable connection pattern, the setting value
needs to be considered. Refer to section 4.3.2.
1. Turn on the power supply.
Note: If the power supply has already been turned on, proceed to the next step.
2. Start the Storage Navigator-Modular program and set the operation mode in
Management Mode.
3. Click the icon of an array unit on the Main window and select the Settings menu. Click
Display Details or click Display Details on the toolbar.

button on the toolbar.
