You can use this worksheet to record NVMe over Fibre Channel storage configuration information. You need this information to perform provisioning tasks.
Direct connect topology
In a direct connect topology, one or more hosts are directly connected to the controller.
- Host 1 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 1
- Host 1 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 1
- Host 2 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 2
- Host 2 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 2
- Host 3 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 3
- Host 3 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 3
- Host 4 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 4
- Host 4 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 4
Switch connect topology
In a fabric topology, one or more switches are used. For a list of supported switches, go to the DE Series Product Support Site and look for the Interoperability Matrix document.
NVMe over Fibre Channel: Host identifiers
Locate and document the initiator NQN from each host.
| Host port connections | Software initiator NQN |
|---|---|
| Host (initiator) 1 | |
| Host (initiator) 2 |
NVMe over Fibre Channel: Target NQN
Document the target NQN for the storage array.
| Array name | Target NQN |
|---|---|
| Array controller (target) |
NVMe over Fibre Channel: Target NQNs
Document the NQNs to be used by the array ports.
| Array controller (target) port connections | NQN |
|---|---|
| Controller A, port 1 | |
| Controller B, port 1 | |
| Controller A, port 2 | |
| Controller B, port 2 |
NVMe over Fibre Channel: Mapping host name
Note: The mapping host name
is created during the workflow.
