iSCSI Gateway services
Deleting user names from an iSCSI VT binding list
User names can be deleted from the list of bound user names.
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
2.
Issue the
isciCfg --deleteusername tgt
command with the
-t
and
-u
options to delete a
user name:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --deleteusername tgt -t iqn.2002-10.com.brocade:tgt -u
isisctgt1
This operation completed successfully
Displaying CHAP configurations
You can display a list of the user names that have been set up on the fabric for iSCSI initiator
authentication.
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
2.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --show auth
command:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --show auth
Number of records found: 1
Name Status
username0001
Defined
Committing the iSCSI-related configuration
After you have configured iSCSI-related configuration parameters, including iSCSI VTs, discovery domains,
discovery domain sets, and CHAP authentication, after they have been defined, you must save them
through a commit process. Each set of changes, additions, and deletions is called a
transaction
.
Review the current transaction before committing the changes; once the changes are committed, they are
enforced fabric-wide.
The commit process option triggers propagation of the database to all iSCSI-capable platforms in the
fabric and commits the changes.
IMPORTANT:
Make all necessary changes to the database—VT creation, LUN additions, DD creation,
DDSet creation, and so on—before issuing the
iscsiCfg
--
commit all
command.
1.
Connect and log in to the switch.
2.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --show transaction
command to display the pending transactions:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --show transaction
Active transaction ID is: 10490 and the owner is: CLI.
The following groups have been modified:
1. Auth. group.
2. Target/LUN group.
3. DD/DDSet group.
3.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --commit all
command to save the transactions:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --commit all
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.
4.
Issue the
iscsiCfg --show transaction
command to verify that the changes were committed:
switch:admin>
iscsicfg --show transaction
There is no active transaction
