HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option Release Notes (5697-5472, February 2006)

HP StorageWork

s High Availability Fabric Manager

Important note—HP StorageWorks High Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) for M-Series

Fibre Channel switches does not recognize the mpx100.

The M-Series Zoning Manager do es not recognize the WWPNs of the mpx100 as Fibre Channel

HBAs. Instead, the M-Series Zoning Manager sees the WWPNs as switches so they do not appear as

devices to zone.

Workaround

An alternative M-Series application must be used to configure zones that include the mpx100 W WPNs.

Select from one of the following applications:

• Prior to HAFM

version 8, use Embedded Web Server.

• ForHAFMVersion8andabove,useHAFMBasic.

NOTE:

the iSCSI initiator iqn name

Important note—the iSCSI initiator no longer logs into the target after changing the initiator

iqn name.

The iSCSI name structur e is fairly rigid and contains two parts: a type d esignation followed by a unique

name string.

The two t ype designators for iSCSI are:

• The iSCSI qualified name—iqn.

• The IEEE EUI-64 identifier in ACSII-encoded hexade cimal—eui.

An example of the iqn string follows:

iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:imthe.firstone.net

This designator type c onsists 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 string

For those using only ASCII characters (U+0 000 to U+007F), the following characters are allowed:

• ASCI I dash character (’-’ = U+002d)

• ASCII dot character (’.’ = U+002e)

• ASC II 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 RFC 3720 (iSCSI) for a description of the iSCSI name string profile.
