Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations, LUN masking considerations

Page 275 highlights

Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations When you merge two fabrics with different iSCSI configurations, a conflict will result. If there is a conflict, the database will not be merged and you must resolve the conflict. The iscsiCfg --show fabric command displays the out of sync state. The rest of the switches will function normally, however, since there is no segmentation of E_Ports as a result of discovery domain set database conflicts. 1. Connect to the switch and log in. 2. Issue the iscsiCfg --show fabric command to display the out of sync state: switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric Switch IDSwitch WWN 220 10:00:00:05:1e:36:0d:f8 * 1 10:00:00:60:69:e0:01:56 Switch State iSNSC Out of Sync Disabled - Disabled Aggregated iSCSI database state for fabric: Out of Sync 3. On each switch issue the iscsiCfg --show ddset command to find the switch that has the database you want to use: switch:admin> iscsicfg --show ddset Number of records found: 1 Name: ddset-engineering State/Status: Enabled/Committed Num. members: 1 4. Issue the iscsiCfg --commit all command with the -f option on the switch with the database you want to use fabric-wide: switch:admin> iscsicfg --commit all -f This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in fabric. This could be a long-running operation. Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y The operation completed successfully. 5. Issue the iscsiCfg --show fabric command to verify that the conflict has been resolved: switch:admin> iscsicfg --show fabric Switch IDSwitch WWN 220 10:00:00:05:1e:36:0d:f8 * 1 10:00:00:60:69:e0:01:56 Switch State iSNSC In Sync Disabled -- Disabled Aggregated iSCSI database state for fabric: In Sync LUN masking considerations The node WWN and port WWN of the local switch are used to query LUNs on the physical target. If the physical target uses LUN masking to control access, these WWNs must be added to the LUN masking to ensure that the LUN query returns the LUNs to the switch. You can obtain these WWNs in two ways: • Issue the iscsiCfg --easycreate tgt command with the -s option to return the node and port WWNs of the switch. For: example. switch:admin> iscsicfg --easycreate tgt -s The following WWNs will be used for any easycreate operation from this switch: Node WWN: 10:00:00:60:69:80:04:4a Port WWN: 21:fd:00:60:69:80:04:4a Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 275

Resolving conflicts between iSCSI configurations
When you merge two fabrics with different iSCSI configurations, a conflict will result. If there is a conflict,
the database will not be merged and you must resolve the conflict. The
iscsiCfg
--
show fabric
command displays the
out of sync
state. The rest of the switches will function normally, however, since there
is no segmentation of E_Ports as a result of discovery domain set database conflicts.
1.
Connect to the switch and log in.
2.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --show fabric
command to display the
out of sync
state:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --show fabric

3.
On each switch issue the
iscsiCfg --show ddset
command to find the switch that has the
database you want to use:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --show ddset
Number of records found: 1

4.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --commit all
command with the
-
f
option on the switch with the database
you want to use fabric-wide:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --commit all -f
This will commit ALL database changes made to all iSCSI switches in fabric.
This could be a long-running operation.
Continue (yes, y, no, n) [n]: y
The operation completed successfully.
5.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --show fabric

LUN masking considerations
The node WWN and port WWN of the local switch are used to query LUNs on the physical target. If the
physical target uses LUN masking to control access, these WWNs must be added to the LUN masking to
ensure that the LUN query returns the LUNs to the switch.
You can obtain these WWNs in two ways:
Issue the
iscsiCfg --easycreate tgt
command with the
-s
option to return the node and port
WWNs of the switch.
For: example.
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --easycreate tgt -s
The following WWNs will be used for any easycreate operation from this switch:
Node WWN: 10:00:00:60:69:80:04:4a
Port WWN: 21:fd:00:60:69:80:04:4a
