Command Modes
Configuration mode.
Command History
Usage Guidelines
After executing the
iscsi save-initiator
command, issue the
copy running-config startup-config
to save
the nWWN/pWWN mapping across switch reboots.
After a dynamic iSCSI initiator has logged in, you may decide to permanently save the automatically
assigned nWWN/pWWN mapping so this initiator uses the same mapping the next time it logs in.
You can convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to static iSCSI initiator and make its WWNs persistent.
Note
You cannot convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to a static iSLB initiator or a dynamic iSLB initiator to a
static iSCSI initiator.
Note
This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
