Updating FC or iSCSI Initiators Information

Follow these instructions if you add, remove, or replace a SAN initiator identifier in the host.

Changes to Fibre Channel (FC) HBAs installed in the host, and changes to iSCSI initiator names used by the host, affect how the Oracle FS System recognizes connections from the host. When the SAN initiators used by the host are changed, the Oracle FS System definition of the host must be updated to match, and any LUN mappings to the host must be adjusted. Oracle FS Path Manager (FSPM) does most of this automatically when you follow these steps.

Make the changes to the configuration.
FSPM tries to ensure that the changes are automatically passed to the Oracle FS System when the FSPM daemon is restarted.
Complete one of the following actions:
- Reboot the host as part of reconfiguring the HBAs.
  No further action is needed.
- Do not reboot the host as part of the reconfiguration (for example, if you use a “hot plug” method to change HBAs).
  Restart the FSPM software after the reconfiguration is completed.

The FSPM daemon discovers the change when it starts up after the system reboot or after being explicitly restarted. The FSPM daemon updates the Oracle FS System management software. The LUN mappings to the host are automatically adjusted to match the new SAN connections from the host.
