You can use either Fabric Manager or the switch CLI to create and modify SAN zones. As a best practice

of SAN management, HP recommends that you create separate iSCSI zones that contain the iSCSI

WWPNs and the storage WWPNs it will access. Refer to the Cisco conﬁguration documentation to

create, modify, or activate SAN zones.

NOTE:

HP does not support multi-pathing software installed on non-Windows iSCSI initiators connected to the

C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), or MDS

9216i switch. iSCSI initiators can be zoned with only a single WWPN from the HP storage controller.

Figure 9

shows an example of an iSCSI initiator, W2KX03 (33.33.33.143), zoned with a single port

from an EVA named HSV04, in a zone named iSCSI-HSV04-ONE-PORT.

When the new zone is activated, the iSCSI Initiator can log in to the storage controller.

Creating an iSCSI host

Conﬁguring iSCSI storage on the EVA controller

During initial setup, the iSCSI Initiator must log in to the storage controller before the EVA can recognize

the iSCSI initiator's WWPN. You can set the controller port as a Persistent Target which will permit the

iSCSI Initiator to reconnect to the storage controller after a power cycle or reboot.

CAUTION:

Failure to enable Persistent Target during controller login prohibits the iSCSI Initiator from accessing

storage automatically after a power cycle or reboot, requiring another login to the storage controller.

From the the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Properties window's Available Targets tab, click Refresh.
