This section contains information on how to configure your IB fabric to connect an SRP host to a SAN 
and includes the following topics:

If you intend to manage your environment with Cisco VFrame software, do not configure ITLs. 

This section describes how to configure ITLs when using Fibre Channel gateway. When you configure 
initiators, you assign Fibre Channel WWNNs to SRP hosts so that the SAN can recognize the hosts. 
Steps to configure initiators are provided in this section.

To configure initiators that you have not yet connected to your fabric, enter the GUID of the initiator into 
the CLI or Element Manager so that the configuration works when you connect the SRP host.

You must configure ITLs for your initiators to communicate with your storage. You can configure ITLs 
with the CLI or the Element Manager GUI.

If you restricted port and LUN access when you configured global attributes, proceed to the 

If you have not configured access, perform the steps as appropriate in 

 or in 

If you enter a Fibre Channel command and receive an error message that reads 

Operation temporarily 

failed - try again

, give your Fibre Channel gateway time to finish initializing, and then retry the 

command.

This section describes how to configure ITLs with Element Manager while no global policy restrictions 
apply. To configure ITLs with a Linux SRP host while your port masking and LUN masking policies are 
unrestricted, perform the following steps:

Log in to your host.

Display the host GUID by entering the hca_self_test | grep -i guid command.

Record the GUID value (always similar format 00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00). You are required later 
to enter it repeatedly.
