FC and iSCSI connections

Hi everyone

 

I am having issues with getting my storage ports up.

 

We got a SAN switch late, and we were using the iSCSI connections to provision the LUNs to the servers

Now we have our SAN switch and want to enable the FC protocols and ports

 

Do we need to disable the iSCSI connectivity?

Is that the reason why the FC ports are not working on the SAN switch?

Without any information around your controller type/model?, I suggest just follow the standard diagnosis process.

 

Reason: Some controllers have CNA type ports, which could serve either native FC or CNA mode, hence you need to change their personality.
