3 Configuring the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for iSCSI
Configuring Ports for an iSCSI Connection
To configure an iSCSI target port on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage for connection to an iSCSI
Initiator, complete the following steps:
NOTE: The method for configuring software iSCSI on the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is the same
as for configuring hardware iSCSI.
1. 10 Gb iSCSI ports on HP 3PAR StoreServ 10000 and HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 arrays require
a one-time configuration using the controlport command. (HP 3PAR S-Class, T-Class, and
F-Class do not support 10 Gb HBAs). Use the showport and showport -i commands to
verify the configuration setting.
For example:
# showport
N:S:P Mode State ----Node_WWN---- -Port_WWN/HW_Addr- Type Protocol
0:3:1 suspended config_wait - - cna -
0:3:2 suspended config_wait - - cna -
# showport -i
N:S:P Brand Model Rev Firmware Serial HWType
0:3:1 QLOGIC QLE8242 58 0.0.0.0 PCGLT0ARC1K3SK CNA
0:3:2 QLOGIC QLE8242 58 0.0.0.0 PCGLT0ARC1K3SK CNA
2. If State=config_wait or Firmware=0.0.0.0, use the controlport config iscsi
<n:s:p> command to configure. Use the showport and showport -i commands to verify
the configuration setting.
For example:
# controlport config iscsi 0:3:1
# controlport config iscsi 0:3:2
# showport
N:S:P Mode State ----Node_WWN---- -Port_WWN/HW_Addr- Type Protocol
...
0:3:1 target ready - 2C27D7521F3E iscsi iSCSI
0:3:2 target ready - 2C27D7521F3A iscsi iSCSI
# showport -i
...
N:S:P Brand Model Rev Firmware Serial HWType
...
0:3:1 QLOGIC QLE8242 58 4.8.76.48015 PCGLT0ARC1K3U6 CNA
0:3:2 QLOGIC QLE8242 58 4.8.76.48015 PCGLT0ARC1K3U6 CNA
3. Check the current settings of the iSCSI ports by issuing showport -iscsi.
