278 IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
Figure 6-30 shows that we now have two configured hosts in our IBM Flex System V7000
Storage Node GUI.
Figure 6-30 The Hosts menu - two additional hosts created
We have now finished creating the Fibre Channel attached host as well as the iSCSI attached
host. The newly created iSCSI host might show Status with the color red and Offline. This
indicates that no traffic has yet travelled over the connection. To make it green and online, you
have to connect to the iSCSI attached host and from there discover the IBM Flex System
V7000 Storage Node portal.
A single host can contain both FC-ports as well as iSCSI ports, but in our example we created
two different hosts in the host section of the IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node GUI
representing the same physical server.
Tip: The iSCSI host will not show online ports before the connection has been discovered
from the host which makes the connection active.
