Perform NMVe over FC-specific tasks

For the NVME over Fibre Channel protocol, you configure the switches and determine the host port identifiers.

  • Configuring the NVMe/FC switches
    Configuring (zoning) the NVMe over Fibre Channel (FC) switches enables the hosts to connect to the storage array and limits the number of paths. You zone the switches using the management interface for the switches.
  • Determine the host ports WWPNs - NVMe/FC VMware
    To configure FC zoning, you must determine the worldwide port name (WWPN) of each initiator port.
  • Enable HBA Driver
    Support for NVMe must be enabled within Broadcom/Emulex and Marvell/Qlogic HBA drivers.
  • NVMe/FC worksheet for VMware
    You can use this worksheet to record NVMe over Fibre Channel storage configuration information. You need this information to perform provisioning tasks.
