Dell PowerVault ME4 Series Storage System Administrator’s Guide

Resetting host ports

Making a configuration or cabling change on a host might cause the storage system to stop accepting I/O requests from that host. For example, this problem can occur after moving host cables from one HBA to another on the host. To fix such a problem you might need to reset controller host ports, or channels.

For FC, you can reset a single port. For an FC host port configured to use FC-AL, or loop topology, a reset issues a loop initialization primitive (LIP).

For iSCSI, you can reset a port pair, either the first and second ports or the third and fourth ports.

For SAS, you can reset a port pair. Resetting a SAS host port issues a COMINT/COMRESET sequence and might reset other ports.
