NOTE:Configured devices can only be deleted if they are not assigned to a SRP Map. Additionally, deleting a device only removes it from the Configured Devices table. It may still appear in the Discovered Devices table.

SRP Initiator Discovery and Configuration

The SRP Initiator Configuration screen allows the user to discover and configure IB-enabled hosts on the fabric.

There are three methods for configuring SRP Initiators. The user must decide which method best meets the needs of the network environment:

Discover the SRP Initiators

This method utilizes the Start button on the SRP Initiator Configuration screen to find and configure each individual SRP Initiator.

This method reports on the SRP Initiators that have attempted, but have been unsuccessful in establishing an SRP connection to the FVIC since the last reboot.

The advantage of this method is that each individual SRP initiator has a name, which makes debugging connection problems simpler. The disadvantage is that each SRP Initiator must be manually configured.

Manually Configure each SRP Initiator Port

In this method use the Click to Add Host button to individually add SRP Initiators. The advantages of this method are each individual SRP initiator has a name, which may be debugging connection problems easier, and the FVIC can be configured even if the SRP hosts are not currently connected to the IB fabric. The disadvantages are (1) the information for each SRP Initiator must be manually entered, and (2) each SRP Initiator must be configured individually.

Use Wildcarding

In this method the individual SRP Initiator Ports (i.e. the HCA Port GUIDs) are not used when matching a request from a host to an entry in the SRP Initiators table. Instead, only the SRP Initiator Extension from the host is matched against the SRP Extension ID on the FVIC SRP Initiators screen.

Therefore, only a single SRP Initiator needs to be defined on the FVIC. This Initiator can be used by many hosts. The FVIC can be configured even when the SRP hosts are not currently connected to the IB fabric. The disadvantage is that debugging problems with individual hosts failing to connect will be difficult to perform from the FVIC. For example, if the user expects 24 hosts are connected to the FVIC, but only 23 are, it will be difficult to tell which host has not connected using only the FVIC Chassis Viewer screens. This type of debugging needs to be done using the host-based tools contained in the Fast Fabric toolset.
