    • If you are attempting to change the baseboard host ports of your storage array, and it currently uses dual- protocol (also referred to as unified) SFP transceivers that you purchased from Fujitsu, you do not need to change your SFP transceivers.
  • Page 92 Asynchronous Mirroring. Note: If your configuration contains SAN Boot hosts connected to the FC baseboard ports, check the Fujitsu support site to ensure that the configuration is supported on iSCSI. If it is not, you cannot convert the host protocol to iSCSI.

     | Host port protocol | Note: Asynchronous and synchronous mirroring are not supported for NVMe over Fabrics. To disable Asynchronous and synchronous mirroring, the disable storageArray feature=asyncMirror or disable storageArray feature=syncMirror must be ran through the command line interface. Change host protocol You can convert the host port protocol of the baseboard host ports from Fibre Channel (FC) to iSCSI or from iSCSI to FC.

     | Host port protocol | What to do next Go to Obtain the feature pack key. Obtain the feature pack To obtain the feature pack, you need the serial number from the controller shelf, a Feature Activation Code, and the Feature Enable Identifier for the storage array. Procedure 1.
  • Page 95  | Host port protocol | 3. Using the feature pack submodel ID, locate the corresponding Controller submodel ID for the starting configuration and find the Feature Activation Code for the desired ending configuration within the table below. Then, copy that Feature Activation Code to a text file. Note: Baseboard ports are disabled when running an NVMe protocol on the HIC.

     | Host port protocol | What to do next Go to Complete host protocol conversion. Complete host protocol conversion After converting the protocol of the host ports, you need to perform additional steps before you can use the new protocol. The steps you might need to complete depend on the starting and ending protocols of the baseboard host ports and the HIC ports.

The Host Settings dialog box appears. c) Click the Host Ports tab. d) Click Add, and use the Add Host Port dialog box to associate a new host port identifier to the host. The length of the host port identifier name is determined by the host interface technology.
