Set Storage Subsystem Isns Server Ipv4 Address; Set Storage Subsystem Isns Server Ipv6 Address - IBM System Storage DS3000 Programming Manual

Set Storage Subsystem iSNS Server IPv4 Address

This command sets the configuration method and address for an IPv4 Internet Storage Name Service
(iSNS).
Syntax
set storageSubsystem isnsIPV4ConfigurationMethod=[static | dhcp]
isnsIPV4Address=ip-address
Parameters
Parameters
isnsIPv4ConfigurationMethod
isnsIPv4Address
Notes
The iSNS protocol facilitates the automated discovery, management, and configuration of iSCSI devices
and Fibre Channel devices on a TCP/IP network. iSNS provides intelligent storage discovery and
management services comparable to those found in Fibre Channel networks, which allow a commodity IP
network to function in a similar capacity as a storage area network. iSNS also facilitates a seamless
integration of IP networks and Fibre Channel networks, due to its ability to emulate Fibre Channel fabric
services and manage both iSCSI devices and Fibre Channel devices.
The DHCP server passes configuration parameters, such as network addresses, to IP nodes. DHCP
enables a client to acquire all of the IP configuration parameters that it needs to operate. DHCP lets you
automatically allocate reusable network addresses.

Set Storage Subsystem iSNS Server IPv6 Address

This command sets the IPv6 address for the iSNS server.
Syntax
set storageSubsystem isnsIPV6Address=ip-address
Parameters
Parameters
isnsIPv6Address

Description
The method that you want to use to define the
iSNS server configuration. You can enter the IP
address for the IPv4 iSNS servers by selecting
static. For IPv4, you can choose to have a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server select the iSNS server IP address by
entering dhcp. To enable DCHP, you must set the
isnsIPv4Address parameter to 0.0.0.0.
The IP address that you want to use for the
iSNS server. Use this parameter with the static
value for IPv4 configurations. If you choose to
have a DHCP server set the IP address for an
IPv4 Internet iSNS server, you must set the
isnsIPv4Address parameter to 0.0.0.0.
Description
The IPv6 address that you want to use for the iSNS server.
