and the remote storage array. Refer to the online help for ThinkSystem System Manager if you have
questions on how to do this.
7.2. Change host protocol for DE2000H and DE4000H
If you have a DE2000H or DE4000H storage array with SFP+ (optical) host ports,
you can change the host port protocol from Fibre Channel (FC) to iSCSI or from
iSCSI to FC.
You can change the protocol used by the host ports built into the controller (baseboard host ports),
the protocol used by the host ports on the host interface card (HIC ports), or the protocol of all host
ports.
7.2.1. Step 1: Determine whether you have dual-protocol SFPs
Use ThinkSystem System Manager to determine what type of SFP transceivers you have. Because
these SFPs can be used with both FC and iSCSI protocols, they are referred to as dual-protocol or
unified SFPs.
Steps
1.
From ThinkSystem System Manager, select Support.
2.
Select the Support Center tile.
3.
On the Support Resources tab, locate and select the Storage Array Profile link.
4.
Type SFP in the text box, and click Find.
5.
For each SFP listed in the Storage Array Profile, locate the entry for Supported data rate(s).
6.
Refer to the table to determine whether you can reuse the SFPs, as follows:
