You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to optionally
create or change the iSCSI alias for the selected node. An iSCSI alias
is a user-assigned name that identifies the SAN Volume Controller node
to the iSCSI-attached host. It is possible to change the iSCSI alias
of a node even if the node is offline.
To configure or modify an iSCSI alias, follow
these steps:
- To configure a new port IP address to a specified Ethernet
port of a node, enter the following CLI command:
svctask chnode -iscsialias alias node_name | node_id
where alias
node_name | node_id specifies the name or ID of the node.
- To specify that the name or iSCSI alias that is being set
is the name or alias of the partner node in the I/O group, enter the
following CLI command. When there is no partner node,
the values set are applied to the partner node when it is added to
the cluster. If this parameter is used when there is a partner node,
the name or alias of that node changes
svctask chnode -iscsialias alias -failover node_name | node_id
where alias specifies
the iSCSI name of the node and node_name | node_id specifies
the node to be modified.
After you create iSCSI aliases, you can optionally configure
the address for the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) server for
the cluster.
