You want to change from CIFS to iSCSI  for the client-Host ?  Give us little background. Are you trying to say - The host is currently using CIFS  share and you want to change it to BLOCK ? You will need to enable iSCSI protocol and besides that configure LIF, igroup, lun and map it to igroup (igroup contains Host initiators). This will be disruptive.
