NVMe over Fibre Channel worksheet for Linux
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.
| Mapping host name | |
| Host OS type |
