Configure a Port for Direct-Attached Storage

The Oracle Fabric Interconnect supports direct-attached storage. Use this procedure to configure a port for this type of storage.

1. Set the desired port type.

   For example, to configure port 1 on I/O module 3 as an l port:

   set fc-port 3/1 -topology=n-port

2. Reset the I/O card to make your change take effect.

   For example:

   set iocard 3 reset

   You can configure each port on a card differently. Issue the reset command after making all port configuration changes.

   If you are reconfiguring a port, remove all but one vHBA from that port. Then follow the steps above to configure the port for direct-attached storage.

   Note -  When you configure a LUN on this direct-attached device, you will see the WWPN of the port, not of the vHBA.
