Now proceed to the next workflow described in "Connecting the Server to the ETERNUS DX storage sys-
tems" of the "Configuration Guide -Server Connection- (FCoE) for Linux".
2.2 Setting Up the Converged Network Adapter Cards
Install the Converged Network Adapter card to the server, and acquire the physical address and World Wide
Name (WWN) for the Converged Network Adapter card.
The physical address and WWN of a Converged Network Adapter card are required information in the fol-
•
lowing cases: when an error has occurred in the system, when using the ETERNUS DX storage systems (se-
curity function, host affinity function, etc.) to restrict server access, or when connecting the ETERNUS DX
storage systems and the server using a Fibre Channel switch and a CEE/FCoE switch.
• Acquire the physical address and WWN when installing the Converged Network Adapter card, because they
cannot be determined from BIOS and OS. Physical address and WWN must be assigned to "WWN instance
management table for the server".
The workflow is shown below.
(1) Install the Converged Network Adapter card
(2) Turn on the server
(3) Acquire the physical address and WWN for the Converged Network Adapter card
(4) Add a record for the server in the WWN instance management table for the server
(5) Set the Converged Network Adapter card BIOS
When installing two or more Converged Network Adapter cards in the server, first turn off the server, then
repeat Steps (1) through (5) above for each Converged Network Adapter card to be installed.
The procedure is as follows:
1
Install the Converged Network Adapter card in the server.
For the installation method, installable PCI bus slot position, activation of the installed slot, and notes
regarding the Converged Network Adapter card, refer to the Converged Network Adapter card documen-
tation or the User's Guide of the server.
