Eclipse™ 2640 SAN Router Administration and Configuration Manual
Configuring iSCSI Devices
NOTE:
This dialog box appears only if the software package supports
iSCSI.
When an iSCSI initiator attempts a login, an entry automatically
appears in this dialog box when you refresh the screen using the
F5
key. If the login from the Initiator includes an iSCSI Alias, it will
overwrite any manually configured iSCSI alias.
After the initiator entry appears in the iSCSI Devices list, save the
configuration from the
File
menu of Element Manager.
NOTE:
Enabling the automatic configuration of iSCSI access control list does
not compromise security. Even in the automatic mode, you can deny access
to an initiator by disabling that entry in the Access List.
Adding iSCSI Devices Manually
To manually add devices to the access control list, follow these steps:
1. Obtain the iSCSI name of the device.
Some initiators and targets allow the user to configure a name.
Others use the method defined by the iSCSI standard to come up
with a name. Refer to the documentation available with the iSCSI
initiator for information on how you can configure iSCSI names.
• If the iSCSI name is user-configurable, use this name in the
Add
dialog box later in this section. Go to step 6.
• If the iSCSI name is not user-configurable, follow steps 5-7 to
retrieve the iSCSI name of the device.
2. On the iSCSI Initiator configure the IP address of the target to be
the SAN Router’s TCP port.
3. Some iSCSI initiators require a fully qualified
eui
name of the
target. The fully qualified
eui
name for FC targets accessed
through a SAN Router can be obtained as follows:
eui.<Port WWN of the FC target>
Example:eui.22000020370e
The WWN of the FC target can be obtained from the
SANvergence Manager's
mSAN Configuration
window or Element
Manager's
FC Device Properties
report.
