5 On vs2, enter the following command:
setenv fc-non-array-adapter-list “ adapter , adapter ”
For example, if you are using gateway initiator ports 0b and 0d to
connect to the disk shelf, you would enter the command as follows:
setenv fc-non-array-adapter-list “0b,0d”
The following message appears:
*** Variable(s) modified but NOT saved until the OS is
booted ***
The ports you specified are not saved until after you reboot your
gateway.
Note
Be sure to put the quotes around the initiator ports. If you include a
space between initiator port names and you have not enclosed the
ports in quotes, then Data ONTAP ignores the initiator port names
after the space.
6 On vs2, enter the following command to verify that the FC initiator
ports you specified are set:
printenv fc-non-array-adapter-list
If you entered ports 0b and 0d, as shown in the previous step, the
printenv
output should be as follows:
Variable Name Value
---------------------------------------------------
fc-non-array-adapter 0b,0d
7 Reboot vs2 using the appropriate boot command for your model—
for example, boot_ontap.
8 Wait until vs2 is ready for giveback, then proceed to the next step.
When the following message on the console of vs2 appears, you can
continue to the next step:
Waiting for giveback...(Press Ctrl-C to abort wait)
