Configuring or modifying an iSCSI alias

You can use the SAN Volume Controller Console to 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.

This task assumes that you have already launched the SAN Volume Controller Console. To change the iSCSI alias for a node, complete these steps:

  1. In the portfolio, click Work with Nodes > Node. The Viewing Nodes panel is displayed.
  2. On the Viewing Nodes panel, select the node that you want to work with. Select Modify iSCSI Alias from the task list and click Go. The Modify iSCSI Alias panel displays.
  3. Enter the new iSCSI alias for the selected node and click OK.
After you have created iSCSI aliases, you can optionally configure the address for the Internet Storage Name Service (iSNS) server for the cluster.
