Setting Up the Storage Center
Step 12b: Configure Ports – Virtual Ports Licensed
If Virtual Ports are licensed, a dialog appears allowing you to select an operational mode.
This dialog displays the following information:
•
Transport types that support Virtual Ports (currently FC and iSCSI)
•
Transport types where at least one port of the type exists on the Storage Center
Figure 27. Select Operational Mode
Common Action – Continue
1 Select the operational mode for FC and iSCSI transports. Default is Legacy Mode.
2 Click Continue to begin port initialization in the selected operational mode(s).
The wizard verifies the configuration, converts selected transports to the selected mode,
displays progress windows, and sends a confirmation window (Figure 28 on page 33)
when operational modes for transport types have been configured and initialized. If
issues are found, no transports are converted and a window listing errors is displayed.
Alternate Action – Skip Port Initialization
If you do not know the operational mode to be used or it is not specified in your pre-
installation documentation, you can choose to skip port initialization at this time.
1 Click Skip Port Initialization to leave all transports in Legacy Mode. If you skip port
initialization:
•
All ports remain uninitialized and have a status of Unknown.
•
All transports remain in Legacy Mode.
