Configuring Default Port VSAN for iSCSI Interfaces

VSAN membership can be configured for an iSCSI interface, called the port VSAN. All the iSCSI devices that connect to this interface automatically become members of this VSAN, if it is not explicitly configured in a VSAN. In other words, the port VSAN of an iSCSI interface is the default VSAN for all dynamic iSCSI initiators. The default port VSAN of an iSCSI interface is VSAN 1.

Caution    

Changing the VSAN membership of an iSCSI interface that is part of an iSLB VRRP group impacts load balancing on the interface. See the "Changing iSCSI Interface Parameters and the Impact on Load Balancing" topic.

Detailed Steps

To change the default port VSAN for an iSCSI interface using Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Interface > Ethernet and iSCSI.

    2. You see the Ethernet Interfaces and iSCSI dialog box.

  2. Click the iSCSI tab.

    3. You see the iSCSI interface configuration table.

  3. Double-click the PortVSAN column and modify the default port VSAN.
  4. Click Apply to save these changes.
