iSCSI FC zone creation To create an iSCSI FC zone, you must include the following iSCSI elements in the zone: • The FC targets, used to create the virtual targets (VT). • The iSCSI virtual initiators (VIs): • If there is more than one FC4-16IP blade in the chassis, you must add all virtual initiators to the same zone. • If there is more than one FC4-16IP blade in the fabric, you must add all virtual initiators from all switches to the same zone. • If connection redirection is not used, only the VI correlating to the iSCSI target portal used by the hosts needs to be used. • If connection redirection is used all 8 VIs for the FC4-16IP blade must be used. • If the iSCSI hosts are accessing the VT from more than one FC4-16IP blade in the chassis (MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators to the same zone. • If the iSCSI hosts are accessing the VT from more than one FC4-16IP blade in the fabric (MPIO), you must add all virtual initiators from all switches to the same zone. Although you can add the iSCSI FC target and virtual initiator to an existing zone, it is advisable to create a separate zone so that iSCSI gateway service components can be easily differentiated from other devices in SAN fabric zones. In order to more easily handle groups of targets and initiators, you can create aliases for each group. You can create aliases, add and remove members from an alias, and delete aliases. These operations function the same way with iSCSI as they do without. To learn more about these operations, see "About zoning" on page 195 and the aliCreate command in the Fabric OS Command Reference. The following procedures describe the commands to run to get the iSCSI information you must provide during the zone creation process. IMPORTANT: You must install Advanced Zoning licenses on all the switches in the fabric before attempting to configure zones. The 4/256 SAN Director must have the zoning license installed. Creating an iSCSI FC zone 1. Log in to the Director. 2. Issue the iscsiCfg --show command to display the WWN information for the FC targets: switch:admin> iscsicfg --show lun Number of targets found: 2 Target: iqn.2006-10.com.example:disk001 Number of LUN Maps: 2 FC WWN Virtual LUN(s) 21:00:00:04:cf:e7:73:7e 0 2f:ff:00:06:2b:0d:12:99 1-2 Physical LUN(s) 0 0-1 Target: iqn.2002-10.com.brocade:21:00:00:04:cf:e7:74:cf Number of LUN Maps: 1 FC WWN Virtual LUN(s) Physical LUN(s) 21:00:00:04:cf:e7:74:cf 0 0x0000000000000000 switch:admin> 3. Write down or copy and paste the FC WWN information for each LUN, which you will need during the zone creation process. Fabric OS 6.1.x administrator guide 277
