Activating The Iscsi Feature; Configuring The Ip Interface - Brocade Communications Systems A7990A - StorageWorks SAN Director 4/16 Blade Switch Administrator's Manual

Generally, the default user Admin Domain is AD0. The recommended practice is to perform all
iSCSI management from AD0; you can make changes from AD255 but you will not be able to
make any zoning changes.
3. Click the iSCSI button
The iSCSI target gateway services module is displayed.

Activating the iSCSI Feature

A director by default has iSCSI disabled. If a switch has iSCSI disabled or there is no iSCSI virtual
target created yet, WebTools assumes that iSCSI has not been activated.
When you click the iSCSI button from Switch View to launch the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin
module, all features are disabled or grayed out except the Enable iSCSI button located in the menu bar
and the iSCSI Ports tab. In some instances, the iSCSI feature is not activated but the configuration
exists. If this is the case, the entire iSCSI tab will be disabled (grayed out) except the Enable iSCSI
button located in the menu bar.
To activate the iSCSI Feature
1. Ensure that the blade is inserted in the director and powered on.
2. Launch the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module as described on
3. Click Enable iSCSI.
4. Click Apply.

Configuring the IP Interface

This step configures iSCSI ports (GbE Ports) found on the FC4-16IP. At least one iSCSI port needs to
be configured in order to progress with the rest of the iSCSI operations.
There are two steps in this process:
• Configure the IP interface for iSCSI port.
• Configure the IP route for the iSCSI port.
The iSCSI Port Group tab allows you to configure iSCSI ports, displays session details on a port, and
shows the port statistics. It also allows you to view and configure the IP interface and routes that are
located on the IP Interface tab. You can edit or delete the IP address, but you cannot add any additional
IP addresses to this interface.
When you select the switch in the left pane, the right pane lists the tasks you can perform on that switch
in relation to one of the GbE ports.
