    Recommendations for cable management Manage cables as follows: • Plan cable management before installing the blade. • Leave at least one meter of slack for each port cable. This provides room to remove and replace the blades, and helps prevent the cables from being bent to less than the minimum bend radius.

    Verifying IP connectivity After you add the IP addresses of the routes, enter the portCmd command to ping a destination IP address from one of your source IP interfaces on the GbE port and verify the Ethernet IP-IP connectivity. This verification not only ensures that data packets can be sent to the remote interface, but also aids in creating and modifying the ARP table:.

  • Page 119: Creating Discovery Domains

    NOTE: Only IQNs can be used as an entry to establish access control. A Fibre Channel feature, Default Zoning, disallows access to all hosts when cfgDisable and cfgClear are run. iSCSI ports function the same way for any action based on default zoning. In other words, if default zoning is on and cfgDisable and cfgClear are run, the iSCSI hosts are also denied access to the iSCSI virtual targets irrespective of a discovery domain set defined.
