4. Zone the iSCSI initiator WWPN with Fibre Channel storage WWPN
5. Create an iSCSI host
These procedures are described in the following sections. They enable you to quickly set up a basic
connection between an iSCSI server and Fibre Channel storage. For advanced configuration parameters
such as CHAP, VRRP, or VSANs, refer to the appropriate Cisco technical manuals and your iSCSI Initiator
documentation.
NOTE:
This section uses Microsoft Windows in examples where host software is configured for iSCSI. To
configure iSCSI for other operating systems, consult the host software documentation. The iSCSI
configuration procedures for C-Series products are independent of the host operating system.
Enabling iSCSI on the C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8),
Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), and MDS 9216i switch
To configure the iSCSI feature, you must explicitly enable iSCSI on the required switches in the fabric. By
default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the C-Series family.
The configuration and verification commands for the iSCSI feature are available only when iSCSI is
enabled on a switch. When you disable iSCSI, all related configurations are automatically discarded.
To enable iSCSI on any participating switch using CLI:
1.
Enter configuration mode: switch# config t
2.
Enable iSCSI on the switch: switch# iscsi enable
To disable iSCSI on any participating switch using CLI: switch# no iscsi enable
Enabling the iSCSI interface
Before iSCSI processing begins on any physical Gigabit Ethernet interface, you must enable the
corresponding iSCSI interface.
To enable an iSCSI interface:
1.
Create and enable the required Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 2, port 2):
switch# config terminal
switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/1
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
2.
Create and enable the required iSCSI interface:
switch(config-if)# exit
switch(config)# interface iscsi 2/1
switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet interface
iSCSI relies on TCP/IP for network connectivity. On each C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4,
IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), and MDS 9216i switch, connectivity is provided in the
form of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are appropriately configured.
NOTE:
Gigabit Ethernet ports on any C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services
Module (14/2), and MDS 9216i switch should not be configured in the same Ethernet broadcast
domain as the management Ethernet port. HP recommends that you configure them in a different
broadcast domain, either by using separate standalone hubs or switches or by using separate VLANs.
