Configuring iSCSI Hosts in SVC
switch(config-if)# ip address 10.11.1.1 255.255.255.0
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Step 3 Configure the iSCSI interface in slot 4 port 1 and enable the interface.
switch(config)# int iscsi 4/1
switch(config-if)# no shut
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)#
Configure static pWWNs for each iSCSI initiator.
Step 4
The first iSCSI initiator is identified using the IQN name—one nWWN and one pWWNs from the
switch's Fibre Channel WWN pool are allocated in the SVC target N-port VSAN (in this example, VSAN
1—See
switch(config)# iscsi initiator name iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.e41695d16b1a
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# vsan 1
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# static pWWN system-assign 1
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# static nWWN system-assign
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# exit
switch(config)#
The second iSCSI initiator is identified using the IP address—one pWWN from the switch's Fibre
Channel WWN pool is assigned in the SVC target N-port VSAN (in this example, VSAN 1—See
Figure
switch(config)# iscsi initiator ip address 10.15.1.11
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# vsan 1
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# static pwwn system-assigned 1
switch(config-(iscsi-init))# end
switch#
View the configured initiators. The WWNs are automatically assigned by the system.
Step 5
switch# show iscsi initiator configured
iSCSI Node name is iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.e41695d16b1a
Member of vsans: 1
Node WWN is 20:03:00:0b:fd:44:68:c2
No. of PWWN: 1
iSCSI Node name is 10.15.1.11
Member of vsans: 1
No. of PWWN: 1
Add the host to the same zone as the SVC target N-Ports.
Step 6
Zone membership for the iSCSI initiator can either be the iSCSI symbolic node name or the pWWN. In
this case, the pWWN can be used since it is statically created.
switch# conf t
switch(config)# zone name host-finance vsan 1
switch(config-zone)#
Step 7 Assign the membership.
The following example is based on the symbolic node name.
switch(config-zone)# member symbolic-nodename iqn.1987-05.com.cisco:01.e41695d16b1a
The following example is based on the persistent pWWN assigned to the initiator. You can obtain the
pWWN from the output of the show iscsi initiator command.
