Setting T10 PI mode to the port

Prerequisite

The following prerequisites are required to perform this task:

Storage Administrator (Provisioning) role

Accessibility to CHB(FC) (Fibre Channel Board) port

Port speed must be 16 Gbps

If you change the T10 PI mode of one port, the T10 PI mode of the other port paired with the changed port will also be changed. You must verify the mode of each port in the pair before changing T10 PI mode. Make sure the ports in each pair are the same in the resource group. The following shows pairs of port IDs.

If you change the setting on one of the ports in the pair, the setting on the other port in the pair will also be changed:

Port IDs 1x and 3x (where x is a letter from A to R). For example, 1A and 3A can be paired with each other.

Port IDs 2x and 4x (where x is a letter from A to R). For example, 2B and 4B can be paired with each other.

If the T10 PI mode is enabled between the path of the target port and LDEV, you cannot disable the T10 PI mode of the port.

Perform one of the following to display the Ports / Host Groups / iSCSI Targets window.

For Command Suite, on the Resource tab, expand the Storage Systems tree. Then, on the target storage system, click Port / Host Group.

For Storage Navigator, expand the Storage Systems tree and select Ports / Hosts Groups / iSCSI Targets.

Select the Ports tab.

Select the desired port.

To collectively change the T10 PI mode of ports, do not intermix ports with enabled or disabled T10 PI modes.

Display the Edit Ports window by performing one of the following:

Click Edit Ports.

From the Actions menu, select Ports/Host Groups, iSCSI, then Edit Ports.

Click OK on the message window.

Select Enable or Disable on the Edit T10 PI Mode window.

Click Finish. The Confirm window appears.

In the Confirm window, confirm the settings. In Task Name, type a unique name for this task or accept the default, then click Apply.

If Go to tasks window for status is checked, the Tasks window opens.
