HP StorageWorks C-Series iSCSI Configuration Guide (AA-RW7PE-TE, December 2006)

• With the CLI:
Enter the show iSCSI initiator command.
Example:
MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator
iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com
Initiator ip addr (s): 33.33.33.143
iSCSI alias name:
Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Member of vsans: 1
Number of Virtual n_ports: 1
Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag: 0x0
VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015
IMPORTANT:
By default, transparent mode mapping is set to
Dynamic when the initiator entry is created. Transparent
mode mapping must be set to
Static for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from
the HP Fibre Channel controller to the iSCSI Initiator.
Configuring transparent mode static mapping
The C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), M ulti-protocol Services Module (14/2 ), and
MDS 9216i switch have two m od es of mapping IP a ddresses:
• Transparent mode dynamic mapping
• Transparent m od e static mapping
You must enable static mapping for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP
Fibre Channel storage controller. There are two ways to enable static mapping:
• With the Device Manager GUI:
1. Select IP > iSCSI from the Device Manager tool bar.
The IP iSCSI window appears (Figure 8).

2. Clear th e Dynamic check box.
3. Select the Persistent check box.
4. Select the System Assigned check box.
5. Click Apply.
6. Close the IP iSCSI window.
