Table 4: Fabric OS Area Information

Fabric OS Area Description

Extended links For 50-km extended links, you have a choice of configuring a port as an LD

port or an L1 port. LD ports maintain full link speeds of 103 Mbit/sec. L1

ports have link speeds of 99 Mbit/sec; however, you can configure all four

ports of a quad as L1 ports, but you can configure only one port in a quad

as an LD port.

Fabric configuration During fabric configuration, the countdown message that used to appear on

the console is removed starting with Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, and v4.2.x.

The fabric reconfiguration message is now captured in the error log. For

details, refer to the diagnostic messages in the

HP StorageWorks Diagnostic

and System Error Messages 4.2.x Reference Guide
