Configuring iSCSI
Step 1
Choose Interfaces
> FC Logical
from the Fabric Manager Physical Attributes pane, or choose
Interfaces > Ethernet or iSCSI
from Device Manager. You see the Interface tables in the Fabric
Manager Information pane or the Device Manager Interfaces dialog box.
Step 2
Click the
iSCSI
tab. You see the iSCSI interface configuration table.
Step 3
In the Initiator Proxy Mode section, check the
Enable
check box.
Step 4
Click the
Apply Changes
icon in Fabric Manager or click
Apply
in Device Manager to save these
changes, or click
Undo Changes
in Fabric Manager or click
Cancel
in Device Manager to discard
changes.
Access Control in iSCSI
You can control access to each statically-mapped iSCSI target by specifying a list of IPS ports on which
it will be advertised and specifying a list of iSCSI initiator node names allowed to access it. Fibre
Channel zoning-based access control and iSCSI-based access control are the two mechanisms by which
access control can be provided for iSCSI. Both methods can be used simultaneously.
This access control is in addition to the existing Fibre Channel access control. The iSCSI initiator has to
be in the same VSAN and zone as the physical Fibre Channel target.
Fibre Channel Zoning-Based Access Control
Zoning is an access control mechanism within a VSAN. The switch zoning implementation extends the
VSAN and zoning concepts from the Fibre Channel domain to also cover the iSCSI domain. This
extension includes both iSCSI and Fibre Channel features and provides a uniform, flexible access control
across a SAN. Static and dynamic are the two Fibre Channel zoning access control mechanisms.
•
Static—Statically map the iSCSI host to Fibre Channel virtual N port(s). This creates a permanent
nWWNs and pWWNs. Next, configure the assigned pWWN into zones, similar to adding a regular
Fibre Channel host pWWN to a zone.
•
Dynamic—Add the iSCSI host’s initiator node name as a member of a zone. When the IP host’s
Fibre Channel virtual N port is created and the Fibre Channel address (nWWNs and pWWNs) is
assigned, Fibre Channel zoning is enforced.
To register an iSCSI host initiator as a member of a zone using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Step 1
Choose
Zone > Edit Local Full Zone Database
.
Step 2
Choose the VSAN and zone to which you want to add the iSCSI host initiator.
Step 3
From the list of available devices including iSCSI host initiators, click on the initiators that you want to
add to the zone and click
Add to Zone or Alias
.
Step 4
Click
Close
to close the dialog box.
iSCSI-Based Access Control
For static iSCSI targets, you can manually configure a list of iSCSI initiators that are allowed to access
it. The iSCSI initiator is identified by the iSCSI node name or the IP address of the iSCSI host.
