Creating An Iscsi Fc Zone - Brocade Communications Systems A7533A - Brocade 4Gb SAN Switch Base Administrator's Manual

Creating an iSCSI FC zone

To create an iSCSI FC zone, you must include the following iSCSI elements in the zone:
•
•
Although you can add the iSCSI FC target and virtual initiator to an existing zone, it is advisable to
create a separate zone so that iSCSI gateway service components can be easily differentiated from
other devices in SAN fabric zones.
The following procedures describe the commands to run to get the iSCSI information you must
provide during the zone creation process.
NOTE
You must install Brocade Advanced Zoning licenses on all the switches in the fabric before
attempting to configure zones. The Brocade 48000 must have the zoning license installed.
To display WWN information for FC targets and initiators
1. Log in to the director.
2. Enter the following command to display the WWN information for the following FC targets:
3. Save the FC WWN information for each LUN, which you will need during the zone creation

The FC targets, used to create the virtual targets (VT)
The iSCSI virtual initiators (VIs):
-
If there is more than one FC4-16IP blade in the chassis, you must add all virtual initiators
to the same zone.
-
If there is more than one FC4-16IP blade in the fabric, you must add all virtual initiators
from all switches to the same zone.
-
If connection redirection is not used, only the VI correlating to the iSCSI target portal used
by the host(s) needs to be used.
-
If connection redirection is used all 8 VIs for the FC4-16IP blade must be used.
-
If the iSCSI host(s) are accessing the VT from more than one FC4-16IP blade in the chassis
(MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators to the same zone.
-
If the iSCSI host(s) are accessing the VT from more than one FC4-16IP blade in the fabric
(MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators from all switches to the same zone.
