7.2.1
Configuring the HBA Port iSCSI Name and HBA Port iSCSI Alias Name
You can modify the existing HBA port iSCSI name. You can also assign an HBA
port iSCSI alias name.
7.2.1.1
Modifying the HBA Port iSCSI Name
We recommend that you use the default HBA port iSCSI name as defined by QLogic
manufacturing unless your system requires that you change the name.
NOTE: If you modify the default HBA port iSCSI name, you cannot reset the
name back to the original default value. Therefore, write down the
default HBA port iSCSI name before changing it.
To modify the HBA port iSCSI name, do the following:
1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the HBA
port. Click the HBA Options tab; then click the Network tab. The HBA Options
tabbed page (Network tab) displays (see figure 7-2).
2. Enter the HBA port iSCSI name in the HBA iSCSI Name box. You do not have
to press ENTER after typing the name.
7.2.1.2
Assigning the HBA Port iSCSI Alias Name
The HBA port iSCSI alias name is a symbolic name that you can assign to the HBA
port for identification purposes.
To assign or modify the HBA port iSCSI alias name, do the following:
1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the HBA
port. Click the HBA Options tab; then click the Network tab. The HBA Options
tabbed page (Network tab) displays (see figure 7-2).
2. Enter the HBA port alias iSCSI name in the HBA Alias Name box. You do not
have to press ENTER after typing the name.
7.2.2

There are two ways to set the IP address, as described in the following sections:
■ Automatically (through the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP)) (see
section 7.2.2.1)
■ Manually (see section 7.2.2.2)
