Modify Controller Port Settings Dialog

Navigation: System > Global Settings > Controller Ports > Actions > Modify Port Settings

Updates the Controller iSCSI port properties. An administrator can also view iSCSI port properties from this dialog.

Port Information

Controller Name

Identifies the name of the Controller.

Slot Number

Identifies the Controller HBA slot number.

Port

Identifies the HBA port number.

Slot

Identifies the Controller HBA slot number.

Status

Identifies the HBA connection status.

Valid states:
  • Connected

  • Not connected

  • Offline

Type

Indicates the type of HBA.

Valid types:
  • Ethernet

  • Fibre Channel (FC)

  • Internet SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) (iSCSI)

  • Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

Negotiated Speed

Indicates the port transmission speed in Gigabits each second.

Maximum Speed

Indicates the maximum speed of the port.

Port Information

MAC Address

Identifies the unique identifier of the HBA port.

Portal Group Tag

Identifies the iSCSI target portal group tag that is assigned to the port.

Link Up

Indicates the iSCSI port link up status.

Valid states:
  • No

  • Yes

iSNS Client Status

Indicates the iSNS client status for the iSCSI port.

Valid states:
  • Access lost

  • Established

  • In progress

  • Unknown

MTU Bytes Minimum

Indicates the minimum number of bytes supported by the maximum transmission unit (MTU).

MTU Bytes Maximum

Indicates the maximum number of bytes supported by the maximum transmission unit (MTU).

iSCSI Settings

IP Assignment

Specifies the configuration method that the Oracle FS System uses to obtain the IP address of the HBA port.

Valid methods:
DHCP

Specifies whether a DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses to network clients. This setting makes the Oracle FS System known to the DHCP software. For this option, use a Microsoft DHCP server that is configured by the Microsoft iSNS Server installer to return the server IP address using DHCP option 43 (vendor-specific) or DHCP option 83 (iSNS).

Static

Specifies whether a permanent IP address is assigned to the Pilot in an Oracle FS System. Choose this option if you do not use DHCP.

Netmask

Specifies the netmask for the primary IP address that is permanently assigned to the management interface of the Oracle FS System.

Gateway

Specifies the gateway IP address that is permanently assigned to the management interface of the Oracle FS System.

TCP Port

Specifies the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) port number that is configured on the iSCSI port.

VLAN Enabled

Signifies whether a virtual LAN (VLAN) has been defined for the iSCSI network.

VLAN ID

Specifies the group portal tag number.

MTU

Specifies the maximum transmission unit (MTU) value in bytes for the Controller node.

The frame size (MTU) does not include the Ethernet header portion of the packet. If your network switch has trouble with the MTU size, you can set the switch to a larger value or lower the MTU size to correct the problem.

If your network supports extended Ethernet (jumbo) frames, enter an integer greater than 1500 and less than 9001. Make sure that this Oracle FS System MTU size matches the network MTU size. If the MTU sizes are mismatched, performance might be severely degraded.

SFP Information

Status

Identifies the small form-factor pluggable (SFP) device port status.

Valid SFP device states:
  • Enabled 1 Gb

  • Enabled 2 Gb

  • Enabled 4 Gb

  • Enabled 8 Gb

  • Enabled 10 Gb

  • Enabled 16 Gb

  • No SFP

  • Incorrect Speed

  • Read Error

  • Incorrect Type

  • Loss of Sync

  • Other

Connection Type

Identifies the types of SFP transceiver interface devices used for data path traffic between the customer network switches and the Controllers.

Valid SFP interface types:
  • Copper
  • Optical
  • Long Wave Optical
  • Short Wave Optical
Vendor

Identifies the SFP device manufacturer.

Part Number

Identifies the SFP device part number.

Revision

Identifies the SFP device revision number.
