You can generate and print a PDF of this page, and then use the following worksheet to record NVMe over Fibre Channel storage configuration information. You need this information to perform provisioning tasks.
Direct connect topology
In a direct connect topology, one or more hosts are directly connected to the controller.
-
Host 1 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 1
-
Host 1 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 1
-
Host 2 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 2
-
Host 2 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 2
-
Host 3 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 3
-
Host 3 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 3
-
Host 4 HBA Port 1 and Controller A Host port 4
-
Host 4 HBA Port 2 and Controller B Host port 4
Switch connect topology
In a fabric topology, one or more switches are used. See the NetApp Interoperability Matrix Tool for a list of supported switches.
Host identifiers
Locate and document the initiator NQN from each host.
| Host port connections | Host NQN |
|---|---|
Host (initiator) 1 |
|
Host (initiator) 2 |
Target NQN
Document the target NQN for the storage array.
| Array name | Target NQN |
|---|---|
Array controller (target) |
Target NQNs
Document the NQNs to be used by the array ports.
| Array controller (target) port connections | NQN |
|---|---|
Controller A, port 1 |
|
Controller B, port 1 |
|
Controller A, port 2 |
|
Controller B, port 2 |
