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

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. Ref er 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 p o rt

from an EV A 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 T ar get which will permit the

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

CAUTION:

FailuretoenablePersistentTargetduringcontroller login prohibits the iSCSI Initiator from accessi ng

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

1. From

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