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.
FC host port identifier names must have 16 characters. iSCSI host port identifier names
have a maximum of 223 characters. The port must be unique. A port number that has
already been configured is not allowed.
e. Click Delete, and use the Delete Host Port dialog box to remove (unassociate) a host port
identifier.
The Delete option does not physically remove the host port. This option removes the
association between the host port and the host. Unless you remove the host bus adapter or
the iSCSI initiator, the host port is still recognized by the controller.
f. Click Save to apply your changes to the host port identifier settings.
g. Repeat these steps to add and remove any additional host port identifiers.
4. Reboot the host or perform a rescan so that the host properly discovers mapped storage.
5. Remount volumes or start using block volume.
7.3.3. Complete FC to FC/iSCSI conversion
If you previously had all FC host ports and you converted some of them to iSCSI, you might need to
modify your existing configuration to support iSCSI.
You can use either of the following options to use the new iSCSI ports. The exact steps depend on
your current and planned network topologies. Option 1 assumes that you want to attach new iSCSI
hosts to the array. Option 2 assumes that you want to convert the hosts connected to the
converted ports from FC to iSCSI.
