HP3PAR - Exporting volumes to Servers with standard NIC connection

  • 772

HP 3Par Management console only show the option to export volumes towards servers that are directly connected via iSCSI/Fiber.

When creating a new destination server, one must select how it is connected and only the iSCSI/Fiber ports show up as mandatory selection.

How can I assign/export volumes to other servers that are connected via ethernet ?

  1. Configure the 3PAR into NAS storage in order to go with file-level storage available utilizing Ethernet http://h20565.www2.hpe.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=3954714&docId=emr_na-c03776930&docLocale=en_US

  2. First of all iSCSI (and FCoE) is over ethernet, so your question doesn't fully make sense but let's assume you mean assigning files/directories over other protocols such as NFS and SMB/CIFS as volume sharing is a block-level mechanism supported by FC/FCoE and iSCSI. If you want these NAS protocols you need to buy the '3Par File Persona Software Suite' if you haven't already. Have you had any training with 3Par kit as untrained use could be dangerous to your data.
