iSCSI FC zone creation
To create an iSCSI FC zone, you must include the following iSCSI elements in the zone:
• The FC targets, used to create the virtual targets (VT).
• The iSCSI virtual initiators (VIs):
• If there is more than one HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade in the chassis, you must
add all virtual initiators to the same zone.
• If there is more than one HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade in the fabric, you must add
all virtual initiators from all switches to the same zone.
• If connection redirection is used all 8 VIs for the HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director Blade
must be used.
• If connection redirection is not used, only the VI correlating to the iSCSI target portal used by the
hosts needs to be used.
• If the iSCSI hosts are accessing the VT from more than one HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director
Blade in the chassis (MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators to the same zone.
• If the iSCSI hosts are accessing the VT from more than one HP StorageWorks B-Series iSCSI Director
Blade in the fabric (MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators from all switches to the same zone.
Although you can add the iSCSI FC target and virtual initiator to an existing zone, it is advisable to create
a separate zone so that iSCSI gateway service components can be easily differentiated from other devices
in SAN fabric zones.
In order to more easily handle groups of targets and initiators, you can create aliases for each group. You
can create aliases, add and remove members from an alias, and delete aliases. These operations function
the same way with iSCSI as they do without. To learn more about these operations, see “About Zones” in
the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.2.x administrator guide and the
aliCreate
command in the Fabric
OS Command Reference .
The following procedures describe the commands to run to get the iSCSI information you must provide
during the zone creation process.
IMPORTANT: You must install Brocade Advanced Zoning licenses on all the switches in the fabric before
attempting to configure zones. The HP StorageWorks 4/256 SAN Director must have the zoning license
installed.
Creating an iSCSI FC zone
1. Log in to the director.
2.
Enter the
iscsiCfg --show
command to display the WWN information for the FC targets:
switch:admin> iscsicfg --show lun
Number of targets found: 2
Target: iqn.2006-10.com.example:disk001
Number of LUN Maps: 2
