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).
