Configuring Initiator Groups
The third step in configuring the VMA SAN Gateway is to configure the initiator groups (igroups),
which identify the initiators (hosts) that are allowed to access a LUN or set of LUNs.
Every initiator has a protocol-specific identifier. Fibre Channel initiators are identified by World-
Wide Names (WWN). Fibre Channel initiators are fixed by the appropriate HBA port.
Initiator Group Configuration
To configure an initiator group, complete the following steps:
1.
From the CLI, use the
enable
command (to enter Enable mode), and then the
configure
terminal
command (to enter Configure mode).
2.
Use the
igroup name
command to create an initiator group, as shown in the following
example, replacing the
<my_igroup>
variable with the actual igroup name.
3.
Add one or more initiators to the igroup, using the
igroup addto
command. The
initiator_name must be a valid name, such as,
wwn.21:00:00:1b:32:7a:18:65
. .
In the following example, two Fibre Channel initiators are added to the igroup. The
<my_igroup>
variable is a place holder for the actual igroup name.
[node <cluster node id>]
Displays targets on node ID.
[hostname <hostname>]
Displays targets on hostname.
[protocol fc]
Displays targets using protocols.
[id <target id>]
Displays a specific target.
[sessions]
Displays targets including sessions.
[detail]
Displays in detail.
