Configuring the FC4- 1 6IP blade
The following sections describe how to get started using the iSCSI target gateway once the blade has been
inserted into the chassis.
There are three levels of configuring the iSCSI blade:
1. "Activating
2. "Activating
3. "Configuring the IP
4. "Configuring the FC4- 1 6IP
For detailed procedures, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide.
Activating iSCSI
The chassis-based switch by default disables iSCSI. iSCSI service must be enabled for any iSCSI protocol
operation. An iSCSI virtual target must be created and committed in order for an iSCSI host to connect; no
default iSCSI target is created.
Run the fosConfig command to enable iSCSI. Use this command to enable or disable a feature or to
display the current operating status of features on the switch.
fosconfig [--enable feature | --disable feature] | [--show] args
The following example shows iSCSI service being enabled:
switch:admin> fosconfig --enable iscsi
Operation Succeeded.
Enabling the persistently disabled ports
Depending on the previous usage of the selected chassis slot, the FC4- 1 6IP ports may be persistently
disabled. Before you can successfully configure the iSCSI Target Gateway, you must persistently enable the
ports.
1.
Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled. You will need to include
the slot/port argument with portCfgShow, for example: portCfgShow 10/ge3
You could also use the switchShow command and parse the output for persistently disabled ports.
2.
After identifying disabled ports, enter the portCfgPersistentEnable command on each port to
enable them.
3.
Enter the portCfgShow command to verify that ports are persistently enabled.
switch:admin> portcfgshow 7/ge0
Persistent Disable: OFF
Mode: ISCSI
