The steps you might need to complete depend on the starting and ending protocols of the baseboard host
ports and the HIC ports.
Complete FC to iSCSI conversion
If you previously had FC host ports and you converted to iSCSI, you might need to modify your existing
configuration to support iSCSI. The following procedure is only applicable if there is no iSCSI HIC present.
About this task
This task applies only if you are converting a storage array that has already been in use.
This task does not apply if you are converting a new storage array that does not yet have hosts and volumes
defined. If you converted the host-port protocol of a new storage array, see the
Cabling procedures to install
cables and SFPs. Then, follow the instructions in the
Linux express configuration, Windows express
configuration
, or VMware express configuration to complete the setup for each protocol.
Steps
1. Configure the switches.
You should configure the switches used to transport iSCSI traffic according to the vendor’s
recommendations for iSCSI. These recommendations might include both configuration directives as well as
code updates.
2.
From SANtricity System Manager, select Hardware
› Configure iSCSI ports.
3. Select the port settings.
You can set up your iSCSI network in many ways. Consult your network administrator for tips on selecting
the best configuration for your environment.
4. Update the host definitions in SANtricity System Manager.
If you need instructions to add hosts or host clusters, refer to the online help for SANtricity
System Manager.
