4 Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for FCoE

Setting Up the FCoE Switch, FCoE Initiator, and FCoE target ports

Connect the ESX host FCoE initiator port(s) and the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage FCoE target ports to the FCoE switch(es).

NOTE: FCoE switch VLANs and routing setup and configuration is beyond the scope of this document. Consult your switch manufacturer's documentation for instructions of how to set up VLANs and routing.

1.CNA ports on HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 and HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 arrays require a one time configuration using the controlport command. (HP 3PAR T-class, and F-class arrays do not require this one-time setting.)

For Example on a new FCoE config:

#showport

N:S:P Mode State ----Node_WWN---- -Port_WWN/HW_Addr- Type Protocol

0:3:1 suspended config_wait - - cna - 0:3:2 suspended config_wait - - cna -

# showport -i
N:S:P Brand Model Rev	Firmware Serial HWType
0:3:1 QLOGIC QLE8242	58	0.0.0.0	PCGLT0ARC1K3U4 CNA
0:3:2 QLOGIC QLE8242	58	0.0.0.0	PCGLT0ARC1K3U4 CNA

2.If State=config_wait or Firmware=0.0.0.0, use the controlport config fcoe <n:s:p> command to configure. Use the showport and showport -i commands to verify the configuration setting.

For example:

#controlport config fcoe 0:3:1

#controlport config fcoe 0:3:2

#showport 0:3:1 0:3:2

N:S:P	Mode	State ----Node_WWN---- -Port_WWN/HW_Addr- Type Protocol Label

0:3:2 QLOGIC	QLE8242	58	4.11.122 PCGLT0ARC1K3U4	CNA

3.Check the current settings of the FCoE ports by issuing showport -fcoe. For example:

#showport -fcoe

N:S:P ENode_MAC_Address PFC_Mask

0:3:1	00-02-AC-07-01-21	0x08
0:3:2	00-02-AC-06-01-21	0x00
