Clustered DOT - Changing FC to initiator

$

Hi everyone.

I hava a FAS2554 with DOT 8.3.2.

The storage is used for CIFS share and VM repository with FC Lun.

I have to set up CIFS share backup on tape using NDMP protocol.

I have read that the fc interface of the filer needs to be  "initiator". So I need to change the type from the current "target" and need to reboot the node.

 

There are 2  FC physical interface. There is a way to use both FC interfaces for NDMP (initiator) and  FC LUN (target)?

Can I reboot the node without making "takeover" or it is preferable to make "takeover"?

The active node takes over the volumes of the node  that is restarted, it is correct? My colleagues can continue to work during the reboot

After the reboot, the restarted node resumes its volumes, disconnecting again CIFS and FC sessions?

 

Thank you.

Marcello
