metrocluster with brocade 300

Hi all,

According to the metrocluster guide we are supposed to set the disk loop port to half duplex by:

portCfgLPort <port#>,0,0,1

The problem is brocade 300 does not have last option 1 i.e to set half duplex where as brocade 300 seems to offer only 0 (full duplex) and 2 (full duplex with fairness). Any ideas?

Regards,

Babar

If the switch is running FOS greater than 6.1.0 then half-duplex is no longer available so set all ports attached to disk loops to Locked L-Port by entering the following command for each port number:
> portcfglport <disk_port>,1,0,2

To confirm the correct settings, they can use the following 2 commands:
> portCfgShow
> portcfglport
Result: ON is displayed in the Locked L_port and Locked Loop Fairness.

It is also recommended that the speed of the ports; shelves, FCVI, Initiators and E-Ports be set explicitly

The MetroCluster Guide will be updated accordingly.

Thanks.
