• With the CLI: Enter the show iSCSI initiator command. Example: MDS9216i# show iscsi initiator iSCSI Node name is iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:w2k3x03.sanbox.com Initiator ip addr (s): 33.33.33.143 iSCSI alias name: Node WWN is 21:0f:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic) Member of vsans: 1 Number of Virtual n_ports: 1 Virtual Port WWN is 21:0e:00:0d:ec:0d:2c:42 (dynamic) Interface iSCSI 1/1, Portal group tag: 0x0 VSAN ID 1, FCID 0x7e0015 IMPORTANT: By default, transparent mode mapping is set to Dynamic when the initiator entry is created. Transparent mode mapping must be set to Static for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP Fibre Channel controller to the iSCSI Initiator. Configuring transparent mode static mapping The C-Series IP Storage Services Modules (IPS-4, IPS-8), Multi-protocol Services Module (14/2), and MDS 9216i switch have two modes of mapping IP addresses: • Transparent mode dynamic mapping • Transparent mode static mapping You must enable static mapping for each iSCSI Initiator to guarantee persistent LUN mapping from the HP Fibre Channel storage controller. There are two ways to enable static mapping: • With the Device Manager GUI: 1. Select IP > iSCSI from the Device Manager tool bar. The IP iSCSI window appears (Figure 8). Figure 8 IP iSCSI window-Setting transparent mode static mapping 2. Clear the Dynamic check box. 3. Select the Persistent check box. 4. Select the System Assigned check box. 5. Click Apply. 6. Close the IP iSCSI window. C-Series iSCSI 19
