Enter the settings as follows:
Date, time: Verify the time zone, date, and system time.
Host interfaces: The CLI set host-parameters command is used to set Fibre Channel and iSCSI parameters on host ports. Fibre Channel
settings can include connection type and speed. The iSCSI parameters include IP address, IP netmask, IP gateway, and IP version. The
MSA 2040/2042 SAS controller requires no SAS port configuration. If you want to use the SAS Y-cables for the MSA 1040, use the CLI
set host-parameters command. See the HPE MSA 1040 or HPE MSA 2040 CLI Guides for more information.
For MSA 2040/2042 SAN controllers to use the iSCSI protocol, you must set the controller host port mode by using the set host-
port-mode command from the CLI.
See the CLI Online Help or the HPE MSA CLI Reference Guide for more information on the command. MSA 2040 SAN controller FW
must be updated to GL101R001 or later to enable iSCSI capabilities. You can find the manuals at: hpe.com/support/msa1040/manuals
or hpe.com/support/msa2040/manuals
