4. Clicks Execute to start the device type conversion.
5. Closes the window when the device type conversion is complete.
6. Uses the Properties view to ensure that the devices were changed to BCVs.
Now that the BCVs have been created, the administrator can map the new standard
devices to the FA port.
Configuring the connection
The administrator configures the connection to the Symmetrix storage array by:
◆ Mapping devices to the FA port.
◆ Adding the host and Symmetrix ports to a new Cisco VSAN.
◆ Zoning the Symmetrix to the host.
◆ Masking the devices.
Mapping devices to a FA port
In previous sections, the administrator found an available port (FA-3D Port 0) on the
Symmetrix array and confirmed that it is suitable for this configuration. Now, the
administrator uses Symmetrix Device Reallocation (SDR) to map the new standard
and BCV devices to the FA port.
