Configuring an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage Port for a FCoE Host Connection

When setting up FCoE initiator to FC target, there is nothing unique that needs to be configured on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage. The initiator coming from the host adapters through the FCoE Forwarder switch is treated as just another Fibre Channel device connecting to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports. The same guidelines described in “Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for Fibre Channel” (page 8) and “Configuring the Host for a Fibre Channel Connection” (page 35) must be followed when a server with a host CNA card configured with FCoE is connected to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports.

When setting up FCoE initiator to FCoE target, the StoreServ ports must be configured for FCoE. See Chapter 4, “Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for FCoE” (page 31), for notes on how to configure FCoE ports on the StoreServ.

NOTE: For specific configurations that support FCoE CNAs and forwarder switches, refer to the appropriate HP 3PAR OS release version on the HP SPOCK website:
