Devices section

The details in this section reflect settings that were configured for this library when it was created on
the Devices page or when the Fibre Channel was configured. These settings can only be edited on the
appropriate Configuration page. If the Connection field for all devices on the same port is showing Not
Connected, check the physical FC connection. Examine the FC switch for visibility of the devices. Some
configuration changes may be necessary or the configuration may not be supported.

Library section

There is a row for each device associated with the library. The Device Type determines the number of
drives.
• The Port ID is three hexadecimal numbers and is known as the FC address by some manufacturers.
If the device is not connected, this field will be blank.
• The Port Type describes the nature of the connection and should match the Topology details.
• The Number of logins is the number of hosts currently with an active logical connection to this
device. To be used at least one active connection is required. Too large a number indicates that
the device has been zoned inappropriately and could cause issues.
