converting the host port protocol.
Steps
1. From SANtricity 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:
Supported data rate(s) SFP type Supported protocol
16 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 4 Gbps Dual-protocol • FC: 16 Gbps, 4 Gbps
• iSCSI:10 Gbps
10 Gbps 10 Gbps iSCSI only
16 Gbps, 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps 16 Gbps FC only
◦ If you have dual-protocol SFPs, you can continue using them after you convert the protocol.
The dual-protocol SFPs do not support 1 Gb iSCSI. If you are converting host ports to
iSCSI, be aware that the dual-protocol SFPs support only a 10 Gb link to the connected
port.
◦ If you have 16 Gbps SFPs, and you are converting host ports to iSCSI, you must remove the SFPs and
replace them with dual-protocol or 10 Gbps SFPs after converting the protocol. As needed, you can
also use 10 Gbps iSCSI copper by using a special Twin-Ax cable with SFPs.
8Gbps FC SFPs are NOT supported in the E28xx or E57xx controllers. ONLY 16Gbps
and 32 Gbps FC SFPs are supported.
