• Port Type - The current mode of the Fibre Channel port (Initiator or
Target).
The Backpanel Locations section displays a graphical representation of
the Fibre Channel ports as they appear on the rear of the system. The
diagram shows the status of each Fibre Channel port: Mapped Target
(green), Unmapped Target (yellow), Active Initiator (blue), or Inactive
Initiator (orange).
Editing the Fibre Channel Port Type
Edit the port type to change the mode of a Fibre Channel port to
initiator or target mode. You can change the port mode only on inactive
connections:
• Before changing a Fibre Channel port type from initiator to target,
unplug the Fibre Channel port wire connection.
• Before changing a Fibre Channel port type from target to initiator,
un-map any host mapping on the Fibre Channel port, and unplug
the Fibre Channel port wire connection.
To edit the Fibre Channel Port type:
1 Select the port in the list and click Edit.
2 Select the new port mode (Initiator or Target) in the drop-down
box (see Figure 198).
3 Click Update.
The Scheduler page allows you to manage scheduled events on the
DXi8500, including replication and replication throttling, e-mail reports,
healthchecks, and space reclamation. With schedules, you specify when
certain events should occur, and the system automatically performs
those events at the specified time. Events can be one-time only, or they
can reoccur at defined intervals.
To access the Scheduler page, click the Configuration menu, and then
click the Scheduler tab.
