Presenting Fibre Channel Targets as iSCSI Targets

The IPS module or MPS-14/2 module presents physical Fibre Channel targets as iSCSI virtual targets,
allowing them to be accessed by iSCSI hosts. It does this in one of two ways:
•
•

The iSCSI wizard turns on the Dynamic Import FC Targets feature.

Dynamic mapping—Automatically maps all the Fibre Channel target devices/ports as iSCSI
devices. Use this mapping to create automatic iSCSI target names.
Static mapping—Manually creates iSCSI target devices and maps them to the whole Fibre Channel
target port or a subset of Fibre Channel LUNs. With this mapping, you must specify unique iSCSI
target names.
Static mapping should be used when iSCSI hosts should be restricted to subsets of LUs in the Fibre
Channel targets and/or iSCSI access control is needed (see the
page 50-24). Also, static mapping allows the configuration of transparent failover if the LUs of the
Fibre Channel targets are reachable by redundant Fibre Channel ports (see the
Failover" section on page 50-50).
