f. Click Show more settings.
g. Review the details shown for the baseboard ports and the HIC ports (labeled “slot 1”), and

Complete host protocol conversion
After converting the protocol of the host ports, you need to perform additional steps before you can
use the new protocol. The steps you might need to complete depend on the starting and ending
protocols of the baseboard host ports and the HIC ports.
Choices
• Complete FC to iSCSI conversion on page 133
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.
• Complete iSCSI to FC conversion on page 135
If you previously had iSCSI host ports and you converted to FC, you might need to modify your
existing configuration to support FC. The following procedure is only applicable if no FC HIC is
present.
• Complete IB-iSER to/from IB-SRP, NVMe over InfiniBand, or NVMe over RoCE conversion on
page 136
After you apply the feature pack key to convert the protocol used by your InfiniBand iSER HIC
port to/from SRP, NVMe over InfiniBand, or NVMe over RocE, you need to configure the host to
use the appropriate protocol.

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
