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.

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 REST API Reference and VSP One SDS Block 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.

    (Bare metal)

    (Cloud)

  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

    • (Bare metal) FC WWNS: WWN in the case of FC connection

      This is not used for iSCSI connection or NVMe/TCP connection. Do not enter this parameter.

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

      This is not used for FC connection or NVMe/TCP connection. Do not enter this parameter.

    • (Bare metal) HOST NQNS: host NQN in the case of NVMe/TCP connection

      This is not used for FC connection or iSCSI connection. Do not enter this parameter.

    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.
