To add a port or change a port’s nickname:
1. In the Add Port To Global Host Port List panel, type the port WWN and a
nickname.
The name is case sensitive and can include 15 characters, but not comma, quotation
mark ("), or backslash.
2. Click Add New Port.
If the WWN and nickname are not in the list, the port is added. If the WWN is in
the list, the nickname is changed. If the nickname is in the list, you must specify a
unique nickname.
To delete either a manually added port or the nickname of an automatically added
port:
1. In the Delete Port From Global Host Port List panel, select the port WWN.
2. Click Delete Port.
3. If the host scanned for devices since the storage system was restarted, restart the
system to complete the deletion.
Managing the Global Host List on an iSCSI System
The global host list is a list of iSCSI host initiator node names that can be used for
volume mapping and login authentication. Node names are typically IQNs (iSCSI
qualified names).
The list is automatically populated with the node names of hosts that have sent a
report luns
command to the system. Hosts typically do this when they boot up or
rescan for devices. When the command from the host occurs, the system saves the
node information; however, the information is not retained after you restart the
system unless you have assigned the node a nickname. Each list entry specifies the
controller ports through which the node is logged in and its nickname (if any).
You can manually add nodes to the list. You can assign a nickname to a node to
make it easily recognizable. A maximum of 56 nicknames can be assigned.
Note – Before you can manually add a host node to the list you must know the
iSCSI node name (IQN).
