• With the CLI: Enter the show iSCSI initiator command. Example: MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com Initiator ip addr (s): 33.33.33.143 iSCSI alias name: Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic) Member of vsans: 1 Number of Virtual n_ports: 1 Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic) Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag: 0x0 VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015 IMPORTANT: By default, transparent mode mapping is set to Dynamic when the initiator entry is created. Transparent mode mapping must be set to Static for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP Fibre Channel controller to the iSCSI Initiator. Configuring transparent mode static mapping The C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), and MDS 9216i switch have two modes of mapping IP addresses: • Transparent mode dynamic mapping • Transparent mode static mapping You must enable static mapping for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP Fibre Channel storage controller. There are two ways to enable static mapping: • With the Device Manager GUI: 1. Select IP > iSCSI from the Device Manager tool bar. The IP iSCSI window appears (Figure 8). Figure 8 IP iSCSI window-Setting transparent mode static mapping 2. Clear the Dynamic check box. 3. Select the Persistent check box. 4. Select the System Assigned check box. 5. Click Apply. 6.

With
the
CLI:
Enter the
show iSCSI initiator
command.
Example:
MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator
iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com
Initiator ip addr (s): 33.33.33.143
iSCSI alias name:
Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Member of vsans: 1
Number of Virtual n_ports: 1
Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic)
Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag: 0x0
VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015
IMPORTANT:
By default, transparent mode mapping is set to
Dynamic
when the initiator entry is created. Transparent
mode mapping must be set to
Static
for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from
the HP Fibre Channel controller to the iSCSI Initiator.
Con
fi
guring transparent mode static mapping
The C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), and
MDS 9216i switch have two modes of mapping IP addresses:
•
Transparent mode dynamic mapping
•
Transparent mode static mapping
You
must
enable static mapping for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP
Fibre Channel storage controller. There are two ways to enable static mapping:
•
With the Device Manager GUI:
1.
Select
IP > iSCSI
from the Device Manager tool bar.
The IP iSCSI window appears (
Figure 8
).

2.
Clear the
Dynamic
check box.
3.
Select the
Persistent
check box.
4.
Select the
System Assigned
check box.
5.
