Option 2: Convert FC hosts to iSCSI
1.
Shut down the FC hosts connected to the ports you converted.
2.
Provide an iSCSI topology for these ports. For example, convert any switches connected to
those hosts from FC to iSCSI.
3.
If you are not already using dual-protocol SFPs, remove the FC SFPs from the ports, and
replace them with iSCSI SFPs or dual-protocol SFPs.
4.
Attach cables to the SFPs, and confirm they are connected to the correct iSCSI switch or host.
5.
Power on the hosts.
6.
Use
Lenovo Storage Interoperation Center (LSIC) to configure the ISCSI hosts.
7.
Edit the host partition to add the iSCSI host port IDs and remove the FC host port IDs.
8.
After the new iSCSI hosts reboot, use the applicable procedures on the hosts to register the
volumes and to make them available to your operating system.
◦ Depending on your operating system, two utilities are included with the storage
management software (hot_add and SMdevices). These utilities help register the volumes
with the hosts and also show the applicable device names for the volumes.
◦ You might need to use specific tools and options that are provided with your operating
system to make the volumes available (that is, assign drive letters, create mount points, and
so on). Refer to your host operating system documentation for details.
