If the status is not Optimal or if any of the Attention LEDs are on, confirm that all cables are 
correctly seated, and check that the HIC and the controller canister are installed correctly. If 
necessary, remove and reinstall the controller canister and the HIC.

Note:

If you cannot resolve the problem, contact technical support.

Step 5.  Collect support data for your storage array using ThinkSystem System Manager.

Step 6. 

If you are instructed to return the failed part, follow all packaging instructions and use any 

packaging materials that are provided. 

Before you resume normal operations, ensure that you have completed the following steps: 

•  For iSCSI HIC adding or replacement: 

1.  Ensure that the iSCSI SFPs or dual-protocol SFPs are installed. 

2.  Attach cables to the SFPs, and confirm they are connected to the correct iSCSI switch or host.

3.  Power on the hosts.

4.  Configure the ISCSI hosts.

5.  Edit the host partition to update the iSCSI host port IDs.

6.  After the new iSCSI hosts reboot, use the applicable procedures on the hosts to register the volumes 

and to make them available to your operating system. 

•  For FC HIC adding or replacement. 

1.  Ensure that the FC SFPs or dual-protocol SFPs are installed. 

2.  Attach cables to the SFPs, and confirm they are connected to the correct FC switch or host.

3.  Power on the hosts.

4.  Configure the FC hosts.

5.  Edit the host partition to update the FC host port IDs.

6.  After the new FC hosts reboot, use the applicable procedures on the hosts to register the volumes 

and to make them available to your operating system. Depending on your operating system, two 
utilities are included with the storage management software (hot_add and SMdevices). These utilities 
help register the volumes with the hosts and also show the applicable device names for the volumes.

7.  You might need to use specific tools and options that are provided with your operating system to 

make the volumes available (that is, assign drive letters, create mount points, and so on). Refer to 
your host operating system documentation for details.

Host port protocol

You can convert the protocol of a host to a different protocol so that compatibility and communication can 
be established. 

Overview and requirements

Learn about the baseboard host ports and the requirements you need to know about before converting the 
host protocol.
