set iscsi-parameters

Description For iSCSI, changes system-wide iSCSI parameters.

Syntax

[jumbo-frame enabled|disabled|on|off]

[speed auto|1gbps]

[isns enabled|disabled|on|off]

[isns-alt-ip

[iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6]

Parameters chap enabled|disabled|on|off

Enables or disables use of Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol. Disabled by default.

jumbo-frame enabled|disabled|on|off

Enables or disables support for jumbo frames. A normal frame can contain 1500 bytes whereas a

jumbo frame can contain a maximum of 9000 bytes for larger data transfers. Use of jumbo frames

can succeed only if jumbo-frame support is enabled on all network components in the data path.

Disabled by default.

speed auto|1gbps

Not supported.

isns enabled|disabled|on|off

Enables or disables registration with a specified Internet Storage Name Service server, which

provides name-to-IP-address mapping. Disabled by default.

isns-ip

iSNS-IP

Specifies the IP address of an iSNS server. The default address is all zeroes.

isns-alt-ip

iSNS-IP

Optional. Specifies the IP address of an alternate iSNS server, which can be on a different subnet.

The default address is all zeroes.

iscsi-ip-version ipv4|ipv6

Optional. Specifies whether to use IP version 4 (IPv4) or 6 (IPv6) for addressing controller iSCSI

ports.

• ipv4: Lets you specify addresses in dot-decimal format, where the four octets of the address use

decimal values without leading zeroes and the octets are separated by a period; for example,

10.132.2.205. This option is the default.

• ipv6: Lets you specify addresses using eight groups of four hexadecimal digits, where the

groups are separated by a colon. All groups must be specified. For example,

0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0A90:3442.

Example For a storage system using IPv4 addressing whose host ports are connected to different subnets,

enable CHAP, specify the IP address of the iSNS server on each subnet, and enable registration with

either server:

# set iscsi-parameters chap enabled isns enabled isns-ip 10.10.10.93 isns-alt-ip

10.11.10.90

Success: Command completed successfully. - iSCSI parameter(s) were changed

successfully. (2012-01-21 12:21:15)

Specify that iSCSI ports will use IPv6 addressing:

# set iscsi-parameters iscsi-ip-version ipv6

Success: Command completed successfully. - iSCSI parameter(s) were changed

successfully. (2012-01-21 12:21:20)
