In addition, you can disable auto-zoning.
If you configure an IQN for an initiator target, then that name is used to identify the initiator target.
Otherwise, a unique IQN is generated for the initiator target.
To configure iSLB initiator targets, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config terminal
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# islb initiator ip-address
10.1.1.3
switch(config-islb-init)#
Step 3

Configuring and Activating Zones for iSLB Initiators and Initiator Targets

You can configure a zone name where the iSLB initiators and initiator targets are added. If you do not
specify a zone name, the IPS manager creates one dynamically. iSLB zone sets have the following
considerations:

The VSAN identifier is optional if the target is online. If the target is not online, the VSAN
Note
identifier is required.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures an iSLB initiator using its IPv4 address
and enters iSLB initiator configuration submode.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a pWWN
with auto-zoning enabled (default).
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a pWWN
with auto-zoning disabled.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias with auto-zoning enabled (default).
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias and optional LUN mapping.
The CLI interprets the LUN identifier value
Note
as a hexadecimal value whether or not the 0x
prefix is included.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias and an optional IQN.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias and an optional secondary device alias.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias and an optional secondary pWWN.
Configures the iSLB initiator target using a device
alias and the VSAN identifier.
The VSAN identifier is optional is if the
Note
target is online. If the target is not online, the
VSAN identifier is required.
Removes the iSLB initiator target.
