• If you have dual-protocol SFPs, you can continue using them after you convert the protocol.
Note: The dual-protocol SFPs do not support 1 Gb iSCSI. If you are converting host ports to iSCSI, be
aware that the dual-protocol SFPs support only a 10 Gb link to the connected port.
• If you have 16 Gbps SFPs, and you are converting host ports to iSCSI, you must remove the SFPs and
replace them with dual-protocol or 10 Gbps SFPs after converting the protocol. As needed, you can also
use 10 Gbps iSCSI copper by using a special Twin-Ax cable with SFPs.
• If you have 10 Gbps SFPs, and you are converting host ports to FC, you must remove the SFPs from these
ports and replace them with dual-protocol or 16 Gbps SFPs after converting the protocol.
What to do next
Go to Obtain the feature pack key.
Obtain the feature pack key
To obtain the feature pack, you need the serial number from the controller shelf, a Feature Activation Code,
and the Feature Enable Identifier for the storage array.
Procedure
1. Locate the serial number.
a) From SANtricity System Manager, select Support > Support Center.
b) With the Support Resources tab selected, scroll to the View top storage array properties section.
c) Locate the Chassis Serial Number, and copy this value to a text file.
2. Locate the feature pack submodel ID.
a) From the SANtricity System Manager, select Support.
