Configuring iSCSI Chapter 42 Configuring iSCSI Send documentation comments to [email protected] iSCSI Virtual Target Configuration Examples This section provides three examples of iSCSI virtual target configurations. Example 1 This example assigns the whole Fibre Channel target as an iSCSI virtual target. All LUNs that are part of the Fibre Channel target are available as part of the iSCSI target (see Figure 42-7). Figure 42-7 Assigning iSCSI Node Names iSCSI view of storage device iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.target-1 1 2 3 4 5 6 Fibre Channel storage device 1 2 3 pWWN 28:00:01:02:03:04:05:06 4 5 6 112189 iscsi virtual-target name iqn.1987-02.com.cisco.target-1 pWWN 28:00:01:02:03:04:05:06 Example 2 This example maps a subset of LUNs of a Fibre Channel target to three iSCSI virtual targets. Each iSCSI target only has one LUN (see Figure 42-8).
