Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters the chassis command mode.Server# scope chassis
Step 1
Enters the command mode for the adapter card at
the PCI slot number specified by index.
Server /chassis # scope adapter index
Step 2
The server must be powered on before
you can view or change adapter settings.
Note
Enters the host Ethernet interface command mode
for the specified vNIC.
Server /chassis/adapter # scope host-eth-if
{eth0 | eth1 | name}
Step 3
Creates the iSCSI boot index for the vNIC. At this
moment, only 0 is allowed as the index.
Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # create
iscsi-boot index
Step 4
Creates an iSCSI target for the vNIC. The value
can either be 0 or 1.
Server
/chassis/adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot* #
create iscsi-target index
Step 5
Enables the DHCP network settings for the iSCSI
boot.
Server
/chassis/adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot* # set
dhcp-net-settings enabled
Step 6
Sets the initiator name. It cannot be more than 223
characters.
Server
/chassis/adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot* # set
initiator-name string
Step 7
Enables the DHCP iSCSI settings.Server
/chassis/adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot* # set
dhcp-iscsi-settings enabled
Step 8
Commits the transaction to the system
configuration.
Server
/chassis/adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot* #
commit
Step 9
The changes will take effect upon the
next server reboot.
Note
This example shows how to configure the iSCSI boot capability for a vNIC:
Server # scope chassis
Server /chassis # scope adapter 1
Server /chassis/adapter # scope host-eth-if eth0
Server /chassis/adapter/host-eth-if # create iscsi-boot 0
Server /adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot *# set dhcp-net-settings enabled
Server /adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot *# set initiator-name iqn.2012-01.com.adser:abcde
Server /adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot *# set dhcp-iscsi-settings enabled
Server /adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot *# commit
New host-eth-if settings will take effect upon the next server reset
Server /adapter/host-eth-if/iscsi-boot #
