Understanding NVMe/TCP

Unisphere provides monitoring and management for NVMe/TCP directors, NVMe/TCP ports, NVMe/TCP endpoints, IP interfaces, and IP routes.

NVMe/TCP is a NVME-oF technology that supports high performance with lower deployment costs and reduced design complexity. NVMe/TCP defines a new storage networking fabric for the NVMe block storage protocol over a storage networking fabric, and provides the capability of extending NVMe across the entire data center .

The Unisphere UI supports the following operations (on storage systems running PowerMaxOS 10 (6079)):

  • View the NVMe dashboard.
  • Configure NVMe/TCP using a wizard.
  • View NVMe/TCP directors.
  • View and configure NVMe/TCP endpoints.
  • View NVMe/TCP ports.
  • View and configure IP routes.
  • View and configure IP interfaces.
