g. Repeat these steps to add and remove any additional host port identifiers.
5. Reboot the host or perform a rescan so that the host properly discovers the LUNs.
6. Remount volumes or start using block volume.
After you finish
Your host protocol conversion is complete. You can resume normal operations.
Complete iSCSI to FC conversion
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.
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
Cabling E-Series
hardware
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. Install the HBA utility and determine initiator WWPNs.
2. Zone the switches.
Zoning the switches enables the hosts to connect to the storage and limits the number of paths.
You zone the switches using the management interface of the switches.
3. Update the host definitions in SANtricity System Manager.
a. Select Storage > Hosts.
b. Select the host to which the port will be associated, and click View/Edit Settings.
The Host Settings dialog box appears.
c. Click the Host Ports tab.
