Attach an NVMe/TCP endpoint to an IP interface

Unisphere provides monitoring and management for Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe/TCP) directors, NVMe/TCP ports, NVMe/TCP endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

Steps

  1. Select a storage system running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079).
  2. Select System > iSCSI+NVMe and click NVME tab to open the NVMe dashboard.
  3. Click NVMe/TCP Endpoints (Attached or Unattached).
  4. Select an NVMe/TCP endpoint and click Attach.
  5. Select whether to use an existing or new IP interface, and do one of the following depending on your selection:
    • Existing:
      • Select an IP interface from the list.
    • New:
      • Select a director and port combination from the drop-down menu.
      • Type a value for the IP Address.

        You specify the IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation. You specify the IPv6 address in colon-hexadecimal format.

      • Type a value for the Prefix.

        You specify an IPv4 prefix length value in the range of 1-30. You specify an IPv6 prefix length value in the range of 1-128.

      • View the value for the Network ID.

        Value that is displayed is based on the existing target selection.

      • Type a value for the VLAN ID.

        Valid values range from 0 through 4094. This setting fails if same VLAN id is used for more than one IP interface on a specified NVMe/TCP Protocol enabled physical port.

      • Optional: Type a value for the Max Transmission Unit.

        The default value is 1500. Valid values range from 1200 through 9000.

      • Optional: Select the Use Jumbo Frames checkbox to apply jumbo frames to the IP interface.
      • Optional: Click to delete an IP interface.
  6. Click OK.
    If you switch between the New and Existing selections, the system applies only the changes from within your last selection.
