Administering the iSCSI Target Gateway Chapter 15 This chapter describes how to use the iSCSI target gateway. The gateway is an intermediate device in the network, allowing iSCSI initiators in an IP SAN to access and utilize storage in a Fibre Channel SAN. • "Supported Platforms for iSCSI," next • "About the iSCSI Service" on page 15-1 • "Setting Up iSCSI Target Gateway Services" on page 15-5 Supported Platforms for iSCSI The iSCSI target gateway service is supported only on the SilkWorm 48000 director with CP blades running Fabric OS 5.2.0 and configured with an FC4-16IP blade (see the Fabric OS Administrator's Guide for more information). About the iSCSI Service The Web Tools iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module conducts all management tasks related to the iSCSI target gateway service. Although iSCSI service is fabric wide, you can manage the iSCSI target gateway service through any iSCSI-capable switch in a fabric. Any applied iSCSI target gateway change is propagated and enforced to the whole fabric. Web Tools, as an element management tool, allows you to manage iSCSI target gateway service through one switch. Through the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module, you are able to conduct iSCSI target gatewayrelated management tasks, such as creating and managing iSCSI virtual targets, managing iSCSI sessions and iSCSI authentications, and editing discovery domains sets that enforce iSCSI device access control. The iSCSI port configuration is available to both the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module and the port management module. When Web Tools is launched from an iSCSI-capable switch, the Switch View displays the iSCSI icon button in the lower-right side under the blades. You can click the icon to launch the iSCSI Target Gateway Admin module. All data is refreshed by auto-polling in approximately 90-second intervals. Web Tools, as a GUI-based SAN element management tool, can recognize and manage the FC4-16IP port blade in the SilkWorm 48000 director chassis and all Fibre Channel ports and GbE ports on the blade.
