This software cannot be used to automatically secure connection information for most FC-AL 1 to 1 connections or router devices. For this reason, it provides a function enabling editing and management of physical lines. The Manual Configuration window is used for the editing of physical lines. One-to-one connections require that each device port be recognized in advance and that the Manual Configuration window be displayed. Therefore, a manually embedded server node cannot be connected to a manually embedded storage system without a Fibre Channel switch.
Open the Manual Configuration window.
Switch to the Main view, SAN view and select [File] - [Manual configuration window] from the menu or select [Manual configuration window] on the pop-up menu. Manually created devices and their related devices and devices with an UnknownFC port connected are displayed.
Devices related to this operation are displayed in the Manual Configuration window.
Select [Operation] - [View Device] - [Add] from menu or [View Device] - [Add] from the pop-up menu. The dialog for selecting devices to be displayed appears. Devices registered with this software are displayed in the left frame of the dialog. Select a target device, and click the <>> Add> button to move the device to the right frame.
Change the sizes of all device icons to be used to the port display size.
Select a device icon, and set [Change Detail View] to [ON] from the pop-up menu.
Change the edit mode to physical line edit mode.
Select [Operation] - [Physical Line] - [Edit] from menu.
Connect ports that are actually connected.
To connect a port that is actually connected but whose connection is not displayed in the window, click the port to select it, drag it to the corresponding remote port, and drop it there. (This operation must be performed in physical line edit mode.)
Close the Manual Configuration window.
Select [File] - [Exit] or select the <OK> button in the lower part.
When a change is made in the Manual Configuration window, a dialog box "Do you want to update the administrative server with the latest information?" is displayed. Select the <OK> button to refresh the information.
Note
The router device can connect a physical line only between switch devices. Moreover, only one physical line can be connected between one router device and one switch.
