Configuring iSLB Initiator Targets

You can configure initiator targets using the device alias or the pWWN. You can also optionally specify one or more of the following optional parameters:

Secondary pWWN

Secondary device alias

LUN mapping

VSAN identifier

Note The VSAN identifier is optional if the target is online. If the target is not online, the VSAN identifier is required.

If you configure an IQN for an initiator target, then that name is used to identify the initiator target. Otherwise, a unique IQN is generated for the initiator target.

Detailed Steps

To configure additional iSLB initiator targets using Device Manager, follow these steps:

Choose IP > iSCSI iSLB.

You see the iSCSI iSLB dialog box.

Click on the initiator you want to add targets to and click Edit Initiator Specific Targets.

You see the Initiator Specific Target dialog box.

Click Create to create a new initiator target.

You see the Create Initiator Specific Target dialog box.

Fill in the pWWN field with the initiator target pWWN.

(Optional) Set the Name field to a globally unique identifier (IQN).

(Optional) Check the NoAutoZoneCreation check box to disable auto-zoning.

(Optional) Check the TresspassMode check box. See the "LUN Trespass for Storage Port Failover" topic.

(Optional) Check the RevertToPrimary check box to revert back to the primary port after an HA failover when the primary port comes back up.

Set the PrimaryVsan to the VSAN for the iSLB initiator target.

Click Create to create this iSLB initiator target.
