Changing the Host Protocol in the E5600 or EF560 by

Replacing Hardware Components

When you change the host protocol of an E5612, E5624, or E5660 storage array or an EF560 flash array by replacing hardware

components, you must power off the storage array or flash array, remove hardware, install new hardware, and reapply power.

Before starting the procedure, be aware of the following:

• You must review the information in

Understanding the options for changing the host protocol

on page 2 to learn about the

different methods for changing the host protocol and to confirm that you are using the correct instructions for your situation.

• Because the power must be off when you upgrade hardware to change the host protocol, you must schedule a downtime

maintenance window for this procedure. You cannot access data on the storage array or flash array until you have

successfully completed the upgrade.

• You must obtain any new cables, transceivers, switches, and host bus adapters (HBAs) needed for the new host protocol. You

must install any new host hardware before you can connect the storage array or flash array to the hosts.

Attention: After installing the new hardware, you must inform NetApp technical support about the change to the hardware

configuration by sending an upgrade notification. This notification ensures that you receive correct replacement parts if you

need them later.

Understanding the options for changing the host protocol

Review the options for changing the host protocol in an E5600 storage array or an EF560 flash array to confirm that you are

following the correct steps.

The following figure provides a high-level overview of the options for changing the host protocol of an E5600 storage array or

an EF560 flash array.

Key Option Description

Hardware

upgrade You must replace hardware to change the protocol.

Note: For most hardware upgrades, you need to replace only the HICs;

however, if you currently use iSCSI, Fibre Channel, or Fibre Channel-

iSCSI split protocol, you might need to replace the controller canisters,

which include the HICs. The exact procedure you need to follow depends

on your Replacement Part Number. Refer to

Determining the Replacement

Part Number

on page 3.

Software

feature pack

conversion

You can apply a software feature pack in SANtricity Storage Manager to

change the protocol.

Important: This document does not describe how to perform software

feature pack conversions. For those instructions, use one of the documents

listed at the end of this topic.

As the figure indicates, there are three methods for changing the host protocol. You might need to:

• Upgrade hardware components (the paths shown with the solid, blue arrows)

• Perform a software feature pack conversion (the paths shown with the dotted, green arrows)

• Perform both a hardware upgrade and a feature pack conversion. For example, if you want to change the protocol from SAS

to Infiniband (IB), and you want to use iSCSI RDMA Protocol (SRP) instead of iSCSI Extensions for Remote Direct

Memory Access (iSER), you must follow a two-step process:

1. Upgrade the hardware to change the HICs from SAS to IB-iSER (this is the IB HIC's default protocol).
