If your controller includes an NVMe over InfiniBand connection, you can configure the NVMe port settings from the Hardware page or the System page.

Before you begin

  • Your controller must include an NVMe over InfiniBand host port; otherwise, the NVMe over InfiniBand settings are not available in System Manager.

  • You must know the IP address of the host connection.

About this task

You can access the NVMe over InfiniBand configuration from the Hardware page or from Settings › System. This task describes how to configure the ports from the Hardware page.

Note

The NVMe over InfiniBand settings and functions appear only if your storage array's controller includes an NVMe over InfiniBand port.
