Configure NVMe initiators on hosts for Linux-based systems
For systems using NVMe over TCP technology, configure the NVMe initiator on all hosts that access
PowerFlex storage. This procedure is provided as an example, only. Consult your operating system's documentation for detailed instructions about configuring NVMe initiators for NVMe over TCP topologies.
Prerequisites
Ensure that you have the login credentials for each host.
About this task
When NVMe over TCP technology is used,
PowerFlex software is not installed on the compute nodes. Instead, configure the NVMe initiators in the operating system on the
PowerFlex compute-only node or
PowerFlex hyperconverged node, and configure the NVMe targets in
PowerFlex.
NOTE:Ensure that the hosts are running Linux operating system versions that are supported by this version of
PowerFlex. For more information, see the system requirements in the
Dell PowerFlex 4.5.x Technical Overview.
The following example shows one way of configuring the NVMe initiator. See your operating system's documentation for details and other configuration options.
Steps
Ensure that the NVMe modules are loaded on the NVMe initiator:
Log in to the host.
In the command line, run the command:
lsmod | grep nvme
Ensure that
nvme_tcp and
nvme_fabrics modules are loaded.
If they are loaded, go to step 2. If they are not loaded, continue to the next substep.
Perform one of the following procedures:
For manual loading of modules (perform after every reboot), run:
