Complete host protocol conversion
After converting the protocol of the host ports, you need to perform additional steps before you can use the
new protocol.
Complete NVMe over InfiniBand, NVMe over RoCE conversion, or NVMe over FC
After you apply the feature pack key to convert the protocol used by your NVMe over InfiniBand, or NVMe over
RocE, you need to configure the host to use the appropriate protocol.
Procedure
Configure the host to use the NVMe protocol.
