13. If you are upgrading to 56 Gb/s InfiniBand, perform the steps from the InfiniBand Configuration and Provisioning
for Linux® Express Guide to configure your storage array to use the iSCSI Extensions for RDMA (iSER) protocol.
InfiniBand connections at 40 Gb/s might use the SCSI RDMA protocol (SRP). When you upgrade to 56 Gb/s
InfiniBand connections, your storage array configuration must be set to use the iSER protocol.
14. If your controller upgrade involves a protocol change (for example, Fibre Channel to iSCSI), and you already
have hosts defined for your storage array, perform the following steps to associate the new host ports with your
hosts:
a. In the Array Management Window, select the Host Mappings tab.
b. From the Storage Array tree on the left of the window, select the host to associate with a port.
c. From the Array Management Window toolbar, select Host Mappings > Manage Host Port Identifiers.
d. To update the host port identifier information associated with each host, replace the host port IDs from the old
host adapters with the new host port IDs for the new host adapter.
e. Repeat step d for each host.
15. Gather support data about your updated storage array by using one of these methods:
Use the storage management software to collect and save a support bundle of your storage array. From the
Array Management Window toolbar, select Monitor > Health > Collect Support Data Manually. Then
name and specify a location on your system where you want to store the support bundle.
Use the CLI to run the save storageArray supportData command to gather comprehensive support
data about the storage array.
For more information about the CLI command, refer to the current version of the Command Line Interface and
Script Commands Programming Guide.
NOTE Gathering support data can temporarily impact performance on your storage array.
16. Perform the following steps to open a non-technical case with NetApp Technical Support. This action alerts
NetApp Technical Support to the changes that you made to the configuration of your storage array.
a. Get the serial number of the controller-drive tray that you recorded in
b. Go to the NetApp support site at mysupport.netapp.com/eservice/assistant.
c. If the Login page appears, enter your username and password, and select Login.
The Give Us Feedback page opens.
d. Select Product Registration from the drop-down list under Category 1.
e. Enter the following text in the Comments text box, substituting the serial number of your controller-drive tray
for serial number:
