Create iSCSI Initiator This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object. Syntax create iscsiInitiator iscsiName = "iSCSI-ID" userLabel = "name" host = "host-name" [chapSecret = securityKey] Parameters Parameter iscsiName userLabel host chapSecret Description The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator. The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose the name in double quotation marks (" "). The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed. The password that you want to use to authenticate a peer connection. NOTE: Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is a protocol that authenticates the peer of a connection. CHAP is based upon the peers sharing a "secret." A secret is a security key that is similar to a password. Use chapSecret only for initiators requiring mutual authentication. Create RAID Virtual Disk (Automatic Physical Disk Select) This command creates a disk group across the storage array physical disks, and a new virtual disk in the disk group. The RAID controller modules in the storage array choose the physical disks to include in the virtual disk. Syntax create virtualDisk physicalDiskCount= numberOfPhysicalDisks volumeGroupUserLabel="diskGroupName" raidLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6) userLabel="virtualDiskName" [physicalDiskType=(SAS) Script Commands 131

Create iSCSI Initiator
This command creates a new iSCSI initiator object.
Syntax
create iscsiInitiator iscsiName = "iSCSI-ID"
userLabel = "name"
host = "host-name"
[chapSecret = securityKey]
Parameters
NOTE:

This command creates a disk group across the storage array physical disks,
and a new virtual disk in the disk group. The RAID controller modules in the
storage array choose the physical disks to include in the virtual disk.
Syntax
create virtualDisk physicalDiskCount=
numberOfPhysicalDisks
volumeGroupUserLabel="diskGroupName"
raidLevel=(0 | 1 | 5 | 6)
userLabel=”virtualDiskName”
[physicalDiskType=(SAS)
Parameter
Description
iscsiName
The default identifier of the iSCSI initiator.
userLabel
The name that you want to use for the iSCSI initiator. Enclose
the name in double quotation marks (" ").
host
The name of the host in which the iSCSI initiator is installed.
