Enable Multiprotocol Access to a Group

  • To enable the Fibre Channel protocol, at least one Fibre Channel HBA is required for each controller in the group
  • To enable the iSCSI protocol, at least one iSCSI card is required for each controller in the group
  • Fibre Channel HBAs for the controllers in each array should use corresponding interfaces, forming an interface pair
  • iSCSI cards for the controllers in each array should use corresponding interfaces, forming an interface pair
  1. Enable the second protocol.
    To add Fibre Channel access: group --edit --fc_enabled yes
    To add iSCSI access: group --edit --iscsi_enabled yes
  2. Verify the protocol state of the group.
    group --info
  3. Configure the second protocol that you added.
    • For Fibre Channel, set up zoning and validate the zones.
    • For iSCSI, set up IP addresses and validate the iSCSI network configuration.
