Eclipse™ 2640 SAN Router Administration and Configuration Manual
Configuring iSCSI Devices
You cannot edit the remaining columns of the iSCSI device table.
They show the SAN Router storage information associated with each
iSCSI device. The iSCSI devices are registered in the mSNS as if they
were FC devices. Each iSCSI device is registered as a different FC
node. The iSCSI identifier becomes the FC Node Symbolic Name. The
iSCSI alias becomes the FC Port Symbolic Name. These non-editable
parameters include:
• Session Status - Session status is Active or Inactive. It indicates
whether the iSCSI device is logged-in and communicating with
another device via the SAN Router.
• Port WWN - 8-byte FC Port World-Wide Name registered in the
storage name service for this iSCSI device. The Port WWN is made
up by the SAN Router and is persistent across reboots.
• Node WWN - 8-byte FC Node World-Wide Name registered in the
storage name service for this iSCSI device. The Node WWN is
made up by the SAN Router and is persistent across reboots.
• FCID - 3-byte FC identification registered in the storage name
service for this iSCSI device. The FCID is made up by the SAN
Router and may change after a reboot.
• Port IP Address - IP address registered in the local storage name
service for this external iSCSI device. This is the IP address for the
SAN Router port used to reach the iSCSI device. Configure the
address for each TCP port in the Element Manager's FC/Ethernet
Port Configuration dialog box. mSAN traffic for the iSCSI device is
sent to this address in the SAN Router so that the SAN Router can
translate to iSCSI and forward the traffic to the real device's
address.
