San Fibre Channel Configuration - Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Administration Manual

Configuring SRP Targets (CLI)
Use the configuration san context of the CLI to operate on targets and initiators by protocol
type. Then, use the shares CLI context to create LUNs and associate them with target and
initiator groups.

SAN Fibre Channel Configuration

Fibre Channel (FC) is a gigabit-speed networking technology used nearly exclusively as a
transport for SCSI. FC is one of several block protocols supported by the appliance; to share
LUNs via FC, the appliance must be equipped with one or more optional FC cards.
By default, all FC ports are configured to be in target mode. If the appliance is used to connect
to a tape SAN for backup, one or more ports must be configured in initiator mode. To configure
a port for initiator mode, the appliance must be reset. Multiple ports can be configured for
initiator mode simultaneously.
Each FC port is assigned a World Wide Name (WWN), and, as with other block protocols, FC
targets may be grouped into SAN target and initiator groups, allowing port bandwidth to be
