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

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

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