Storage Services
Storage Services include managing Initiator and LUN mapping. These functions
are similar for Fibre Channel and iSCSI VTrak models, with a few minor
differences in Initiator naming conventions, as noted below. Initiators do not apply
to SCSI models. LUN Mapping is different for SCSI models.
Initiators
The Storage Services–Initiators tab enables you to add and delete initiators. This
function applies to Fibre Channel and iSCSI VTrak models.
Add an Initiator
To add an initiator:
1. Click the Subsystem icon in Tree View.
2. Click the Administrative Tools icon.
3. Click on the Storage Services icon.
4. Click the Initiators tab in Management View.
5. From the Initiators tab dropdown menu, select Add Initiator .
6. Enter the initiator’s initiator's name in the Initiator Name field.
A Fibre Channel initiator name is the World Wide Port Name of the device
and is composed of a series of eight, two-digit hexadecimal numbers.
An iSCSI initiator name is the iSCSI name of the initiator device and is
composed of a single text string. iSCSI WWNs are somewhat different from
regular WWNs.
Obtain the initiator name from the initiator utility on your host system.
Note that the initiator name you input must match exactly in order for the
connection to work.
