Changing the iSCSI target identification
You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with the target for simpler identification. Aliases are useful
because the iSCSI target names are not intuitive. Provide an iSCSI target alias that is meaningful and easy to remember.
To change the iSCSI target identification:
1
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab.
2
Select
Manage iSCSI Settings
.
The
Manage iSCSI Settings
window is displayed.
3
Select the
Target Configuration
tab.
4
Type the alias in
iSCSI alias
.
5
Click
OK
.
NOTE:
Aliases can contain up to 30 characters. Aliases can include letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore
(_), minus (-), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are permitted.
NOTE:
Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with SP 1) does not
support using target alias.
Changing iSCSI target discovery settings
To change the iSCSI target discovery settings:
1
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab.
2
Select
Manage iSCSI Settings
.
The
Manage iSCSI Settings
window is displayed.
3
Select the
Target Discovery
tab.
4
Select
Use iSNS
to activate iSCSI target discovery.
5
To activate iSCSI target discovery, you can use one of the following methods:
•
Select
Obtain configuration automatically from DHCP server
to automatically activate target discovery for IPv4 settings using
the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can also refresh the DHCP.
•
Select
Specify Configuration
, and type the IPv4 address to activate the target discovery.
•
Type the
iSNS server IP address
in the IPv6 settings area to activate the target discovery.
NOTE:
After you manually enter an IP address, you can also click Advanced to configure the customized TCP listening
ports.
NOTE:
If you do not want to allow discovery sessions that are not named, select Disallow un-named discovery sessions.
NOTE:
Un-named discovery sessions are discovery sessions that are permitted to run without a target name. With an un-
named discovery session, the target name or the target portal group tag is not available to enforce the iSCSI session
identifier (ISID) rule.
