Stop host I/O
You must stop all I/O operations from the host before converting the protocol of the host ports.
You cannot access data on the storage array until you successfully complete the conversion.
Steps
1. Ensure that no I/O operations are occurring between the storage array and all connected hosts.
For example, you can perform these steps:
• Stop all processes that involve the LUNs mapped from the storage to the hosts.
• Ensure that no applications are writing data to any LUNs mapped from the storage to the
hosts.
• Unmount all file systems associated with volumes on the array.
Note: The exact steps to stop host I/O operations depend on the host operating system and
the configuration, which are beyond the scope of these instructions. If you are not sure how
to stop host I/O operations in your environment, consider shutting down the host.
Attention: Possible data loss
– If you continue this
procedure while I/O operations are occurring, you
might lose data.
