7.
Select Admin > Save Configuration from the Device Manager tool bar.

With the CLI:
1.
Enter the show iscsi initiator command to view the iSCSI initiators.
Example:
MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator
iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com
Initiator ip addr (s):
iSCSI alias name:
Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Member of vsans:
Number of Virtual n_ports:
Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag:
VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015
2.
Use the config terminal command to change the iSCSI Initiator entry from Dynamic to
Persistent. You can change either the iSCSI qualified name (IQN) or the IP address.
Example:
MDS9216i# config terminal
• MDS9216i#(config) iscsi save-initiator name iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.san-
box.com
• MDS9216i#(config) iscsi save-initiator ip-address 33.33.33.143
3.
Enter the show iscsi initiator command to verify the change:
Example:
MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator
iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com
Initiator ip addr (s):
iSCSI alias name:
Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (configured)
Member of vsans:
Number of Virtual n_ports:
Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (configured)
Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag:
VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015
4.
Enter the save run start command to save the configuration.
Example:
MDS9216i# save run start
Zoning the iSCSI Initiator WWPN with Fibre Channel storage WWPN
At this point we have a unique WWPN that acts as a virtual Fibre Channel host available on the Fibre
Channel SAN. This unique WWPN can be zoned with Fibre Channel storage as if it were a Fibre
Channel HBA.
NOTE:
This section uses an Enterprise Virtual Array as an example to configure iSCSI. Consult the appropriate
documentation for the storage array that is actually used.
