The format for the IQN is type.date.naming authority:. The type.date.naming authority portion is a fixed prefix. The default prefix is iqn.2002-12.com.brocade. The Brocade iSCSI gateway service supports IQN only to identify the iSCSI components, such as the iSCSI initiator and iSCSI VT. Every iSCSI initiator and iSCSI VT on the same network and SAN must have a unique IQN. A Brocade-created IQN includes "2002-12.com.brocade" and the device WWN as shown in the following example: Type Date Auth User defined iqn.2002-12.com.brocade:10:00:00:05:1e:aa:bb:cc A Microsoft-created IQN includes "microsoft" and the system name: iqn.2003-11.com.microsoft:win2k-sn-192168101 The following figure shows an iSCSI gateway that has three iSCSI VTs and two iSCSI initiators. 254 Fabric OS Administrator's Guide 53-1001336-01
