The following are the unique storage system port settings for each storage system.

Label
Label for the port, if any.
Protocol
Protocol for the port. Either
FC
for Fibre Channel orFCoE
for Fibre Channel over Ethernet.Expected SAN/Network
SAN or network to which you want to connect the storage system port.
Best practice: Use the
Auto
setting. Once cabling is complete, the actual SAN will be set and the expected SAN will be set based on the actual SAN. You must do this because unmanaged direct attach networks are not listed in the expected SAN/network menu.If you do not want the appliance to manage a port, set the expected network to
none
.Actual SAN
SAN or network to which the storage system port is connected.
NOTE:The menu list displays the configured uplinks.
Port Group
The port group the storage port belongs to. By default, the name is
Auto
, which selects a port group automatically.You can use port groups to specify a set of storage ports which are used when you attach a volume to a server profile. For more information on port groups, see "Automatic port group assignment" in the HPE OneView Help.
