Register a compute node, initiator information, and path information about the compute node as follows.

The path of the compute node is configured in full mesh.

For how to identify the initiator name (iSCSI name, WWN, or host NQN) of the compute node, see the VSP One SDS Block Storage Configuration Utility Guide.

CAUTION:

Performing the following procedure enables setting a path of a compute node in full mesh irrespective of the wiring. If you want to set a compute node path between only a specific initiator and specific compute node, do so from the REST API or CLI. For details about how to set a path of a compute node by using the REST API or CLI, see Compute node connection management in the VSP One SDS Block and SDS Cloud REST API Reference and VSP One SDS Block and SDS Cloud CLI Reference.

  • Required role: Storage or VpsStorage

  1. Open the Compute Nodes window, and click either of the following icons.

    For List view:

    For Inventory view:

    The following dialog appears.

    · When FC is used for a storage cluster compute port protocol

    · When iSCSI is used for a storage cluster compute port protocol

    · When NVMe/TCP is used for a storage cluster compute port protocol

  2. Enter each of the following parameters:

    • VIRTUAL PRIVATE STORAGE: Name of the VPS to which compute nodes belong

    • COMPUTE NODE NAME: The nickname of the compute node

    • OS TYPE: The OS type of the intended compute node

    • FC WWNS: WWN in the case of FC connection

    • ISCSI INITIATOR NAMES: iSCSI name in the case of iSCSI connection

    • HOST NQNS: host NQN in the case of NVMe/TCP connection

    Clicking + Add FC WWN, + Add iSCSI Initiator Name, or +Add Host NQN displays an additional input field. To the right of the input field, there is an x icon. To remove the entry field, click the x icon.

  3. Click Submit.

    If you want to continue registering other compute nodes, click +Submit and add another compute node.

  4. When the following "Completed" message is displayed, processing is completed.

    • Successfully configured port connections.
