Configure the Fibre Channel Gateway (Optional)
To configure ITLs, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to your host.
2. Enter the /etc/init.d/ts_srp stop command at the host CLI to force the host to log out of any
storage. You must disable connections now and enable them later in this process.
3. Enter the /usr/local/topspin/bin/vstat --verbose|grep -i guid command at the host CLI to display
the host GUID.
NOTE: Record the GUID value. You will enter it repeatedly.
4. Enter the
no shutdown
command on your Server Switch CLI to bring up any Fibre Channel
gateway cards that connect your device to FC storage. The gateway automatically discovers all
storage.
Example
5. (Optional) Enter the
show fc srp target
command to view the storage that your gateway(s)
discovered.
Example
6. Enter the
fc srp initiator
command with
• the GUID of the host (from step 3)
• the GUID extension (always 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00)
• the
auto-bind
keyword
to configure your host.
NOTE: For an initiator to successfully connect to storage, each physical FC gateway port requires
a virtual port with a unique WWPN that points to the initiator. Also, the initiator requires a unique
WWNN. You can configure these values manually, but we strongly recommend that you take
Topspin-90# configure terminal
