Checklist for configuring iSCSI

Checklist for configuring iSCSI
After you install the FC4-16IP blade in the Brocade 48000 director (see the Brocade FC4-16IP
Hardware Reference Manual), you configure the iSCSI gateway service. The following table
provides a high-level overview of the commands and links to the sections that detail the
procedures. See the Fabric OS Command Reference for detailed information on the commands.

Configuring the iSCSI target gateway
Command
Activate iSCSI for the fosConfig - -enable iscsi
FC4-16IP.
Configure the IP address portCfg ipif <slot>/ge<port> create
for GbE port(s). <ipaddress> <netmask> <mtu_size>
Optional) Configure the IP portCfg iproute <slot>/ge<port> args
route for the GbE port(s).
(Easy) Automatically maps iscsiCfg - -easycreate tgt
FC targets to iSCSI targets
and names target with
unique IQN.
(Advanced) Create iSCSI iscsiCfg - -create tgt –t <targetname>
virtual target.
Add LUNs to the virtual iscsiCfg - -add lun -t <targetname> \
target. -w <fcwwn> -l <LUN_map>
Create discovery domains. iscsiCfg - -create dd -d <ddname> \
Where members are iSCSI -m "<member>,<member>,<member>,..."
components identified
using IQNs.
Create discovery domain iscsiCfg - -create ddset -n <ddset_name> \
set. Where members are -d "<member>,<member>,..."
discovery domains.
Activate the discovery iscsiCfg - -enable ddset –n <ddset_name>
domain set.
iscsiCfg - -create auth -u <uname>\
shared secret for -s <secret>
authentication (CHAP).
(optional)
iscsiCfg - -modify tgt \
virtual target for which you –t <target name> –a CHAP
want authentication.
(optional)
iscsiCfg - -addusername tgt \
to iSCSI virtual targets to –t <target name> -u <user name>
control access.
(Optional)
iscsiCfg - -commit all
(items configured in steps
4-9).
