Configuring the network adapter 

 

NOTE:  

  The figures in this section are for illustration only. 

  The FC feature requires a remote network storage device. The configuration methods for 

network storage devices vary by device. This document describes only configuration on the local 
server. 

 

Viewing mapping relations between network 
adapter ports and ICM ports 

To view the mapping relations between the network adapter ports and ICM ports, log in to OM and 
access the

Verifying the identification status of network 
adapter ports in the operating system 

This section describes how to check whether a  network adapter port has been identified in the 
operating system. It uses CentOS 7.4 and Windows Server 2012 R2 as examples. 

Linux operating system 

1. 

Execute the 

lspci | grep ISP2722

 

command to view PCI information for the FC680i 

network adapter. Two PCI devices correspond to two ports of the network adapter, as shown in 

Figure 10

. 

Figure 9 Viewing PCI information 

 

 

2. 

Execute the 

ls /sys/class/fc_host/

 command to check whether two host folders exist 

in the 

fc_host

 

directory. 

Then, 

execute the 

cat 

/sys/class/fc_host/host*/symbolic_name

  command to view 

symbolic_name

  of 

each host folder. If the name is QMS2692,  it indicates that  the ports of the FC680i network 
adapter have been identified. If no host folders are found, update the driver and then try again.
