HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option 5.1 release notes (5697-7321, January 2008)

Workaround
Use an alternati
ve M-Series application to configure zones that include the mpx100 W WPNs. Select one
of the followin
g applications:
• PriortoHAFM8,useEmbeddedWebServer.
• For HAFM 8 and later, use HAFM Basic.
NOTE:
After configuri
ng the zones, you must update HAFM to include these new edits.
iSCSI initiator no longer logs into the target after changing the initiator iqn n ame
The iSCSI name structure is fairly rigid and contains two parts: a type designation followed by a unique
name string.
The two type designators for iSCSI are:
• The iS CSI qualified name—iqn.
• The I EEE EUI-64 identifier in ASCII-encoded hexadecimal—eui.
The following example shows an iqn string:
iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:imthe.firstone.net
This designator type consists of the following parameters:
• The string iqn followed by a dot (.)
• A date code, in yyyy-mm format followed by another dot (.)
• A reverse domain name
• Optional colon (:) prefixed by a string
If only using ASCII characters (U+0000 to U+007F), the following characters are allowed:
• ASCII dash character (’-’ = U+002d)
• ASCII dot character (’.’ = U+002e)
• ASCII colon character (’:’ = U+003a)
• ASCII lower-case characters (’a’..’z’ = U+0061..U+007a)
• ASCII digit characters (’0’..’9’ = U+0030..U+0039)
NOTE:
See section 3.2.6 of Request for Comments (RFC) 3720 (iSCSI) for a description of the iSCSI name
string profile. You can access RFC 3720 at: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3720.txt.
Workaround
Follow the correct iqn name syntax as described in section 3.2.6 of RFC 3720.
For Windows—In the initiator GUI, click Reset under Change in the General tab to reset the iqn name to
its original name that was created when you installed the initiator.
For Linux—Edit the InitiatorName setting in the initiatorname.iscsi file using the correct syntax.
F or Linux and Windows—Reinstalling the initiator creates a valid iqn name.
