set host-port-mode iSCSI
The command notifies you that it will change host port configuration, stop I/O, and restart both controllers.
When asked if you want to continue, enter y to change the host port mode to use iSCSI SFPs.
Once the
set host-port-mode
command completes, it will notify you that the specified system host port
mode was set, and that the command completed successfully.
When you are done using the CLI, exit the emulator.
Set CNC port mode to FC and iSCSI
To set the CNC port mode for use with FC SFPs and iSCSI SFPs in combination, run the following
command at the command prompt:
set host-port-mode FC-and-iSCSI
The command notifies you that it will change host port configuration, stop I/O, and restart both controllers.
When asked if you want to continue, enter y to change the host port mode to use FC and iSCSI SFPs.
Once the
set host-port-mode
command completes, it will notify you that the specified system host port
mode was set, and that the command completed successfully.
When you are done using the CLI, exit the emulator.
Configure the system
After using either of the CLI command sequences shown above, you may see events stating that the SFPs
installed are not compatible with the protocol set for the host ports. The new host port mode setting will be
synchronized with the qualified SFP option once the controller modules restart.
See Appendix E—SFP option for CNC ports for instructions about locating and installing your qualified SFP
transceivers within the CNC ports.
After changing the CNC port mode, you can invoke the disk management utility (V3 or V2), and use the
Configuration Wizard to initially configure the system, or change system configuration settings.
Connect a Management Host on the Network
The management host directly manages storage systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
3. Do not interconnect iSCSI and management Ethernet on the same network.
