HP 3PAR Windows 2012 and Windows Server 2008 Implementation Guide

Configuring Initiator FCoE to Target FCoE
StoreServ ports must be configured for FCoE. For notes on how to configure FCoE ports on the
StoreServ, see “Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for FCoE” (page 24).

1. Install the CNA card in the server just like any other PCIe card - refer to the server vendor
documentation.
2. Install the CNA card driver following the CNA card installation instructions (it assumes the
server is already running a supported operating system).
3. Physically connect the server CNA card ports to the FCoE fabric.
4. Configure the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports in accordance with the guidelines in
“Performing Preliminary HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage and Host Configuration” (page 11) and
connect the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage ports to the FCoE fabric.
5. Create VLANs for the host initiator’s ports and the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage target port.
Once the initiators have logged in to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage target ports, create a host
definition and provision storage to the host.
NOTE: FCoE switch VLANs and routing setup and configuration are beyond the scope of this
document. Consult your switch manufacturer's documentation for instructions of how to set up
VLANs and routing.
