You can set the NVMe mode to enable communication on a Fibre Channel port using the NVMe-oF protocol, and then set the Fibre Channel port as an NVM subsystem port on the NVM subsystem.
The default operation mode of the port is the SCSI mode. If you change the operation mode of the port to NVMe mode, the following settings cannot be configured. Make sure to set the NVMe mode after satisfying the confirming the following items:.
- Connection to a HBA port that operates with the FC-SCSI protocol or to an external port on the storage system.
- Define a SCSI path (add an LU path).
- Add a remote path.
- Add an external path.
- Connection settings between the storage system and the server registered in VSP One Block Administrator.
- The channel board (Fibre 32Gbps Ready Channel Board or Fibre 64Gbps Channel Board) of Fibre Channel that supports the NVMe protocol must be installed.
- Disconnect from a host port running with FC-SCSI, an external port on the storage system, or Initiator port, or RCU Target port on the remote storage system, and then verify that there are no connections.
- Make sure the following devices are not connected to the port:
- SCSI host
- External storage system
- Storage system connected using a remote path
- No host groups or LU paths for SCSI hosts have been set under the port.
- No host groups other than the host group 0 have been set.
