Static Mapping

You can manually (statically) create an iSCSI target by assigning a user-defined unique iSCSI node name
to it. The iSCSI qualified name is restricted to a minimum length of 16 characters and a maximum of
223 characters. A statically mapped iSCSI target can either map the whole Fibre Channel target port (all
LUNs in the target port mapped to the iSCSI target), or it can contain one or more LUs from a Fibre
Channel target port (see
