Confirming your storage system configuration

You must make sure that your storage system is properly cabled, that the protocol services are licensed, if required, and that the services are started. Proper configuration ensures that the storage system is accessible to host systems.

Steps

  1. Add the iSCSI or FCP license and start the target service.
    The Fibre Channel and iSCSI protocols are licensed features of Data ONTAP software. If you need to purchase a license, you should contact your NetApp or sales partner representative. The Fibre Channel and iSCSI protocols do not require licenses on E-Series storage systems using SANtricity Storage Manager.
  2. Verify your cabling.
    See the SAN Configuration Guide for your version of Data ONTAP or the Hardware Cabling Guide for your E-Series storage system for detailed cabling and configuration information.
