Editing the Default Fibre Channel Host Port Settings

Only edit the Fibre Channel host port settings if you do not want to use the default settings, if some
system problem is occurring, or if the "AUTO" setting is not working properly.
NOTE:
The values displayed under Actual are the actual values found by the VLS for the Fibre Channel host
port.
NOTE:
If you enter a value that is not supported by the Fibre Channel port (for example, you enter Fabric in
the Topology column but the port uses the Loop topology), your entry remains in the Preferred box,
but the Actual column will display the correct value when Command View VLS performs its occasional
status checks.
To change the default Fibre Channel host port settings, from Command View VLS:
1. Click the System tab.
2. Expand Chassis in the navigation tree.
3. Expand the Node to modify in the navigation tree.
4. Select Fibre Channel in the navigation tree.
The Fibre Channel Host Ports window opens

.
5. Enter a value for the Loop ID in the Loop ID Preferred box for each Fibre Channel host port to
use for prioritizing communication requests with the VLS.
If the Fibre Channel host port's topology is Fabric, the Loop ID value is ignored.
