HP 3PAR Solaris Implementation Guide

For information on setting up target discovery on the Solaris host, see Section (page 44).

Creating an iSCSI Host Definition on an HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage

Running HP 3PAR OS 3.1.x or 2.3.x

NOTE: 10 Gb iSCSI is supported only on HP 3PAR OS 3.1.x and on the HP 3PAR StoreServ

10000/7000 Storage.

You will need the host iqn name/names to create the iSCSI host definition on the HP 3PAR

StoreServ Storage.

# iscsiadm list initiator-node

Initiator node name: iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:ba7a38f0ffff.4b798940

Initiator node alias: -

Header Digest: NONE/-

Data Digest: NONE/-

Authentication Type: NONE

RADIUS Server: NONE

RADIUS access: unknown

Configured Sessions: 1

The following steps show how to create the host definition for an iSCSI connection.

1. You can verify that the iSCSI Initiator is connected to the iSCSI target port by using the HP 3PAR

OS CLI showhost command.

# showhost

Id Name Persona ---------------WWN/iSCSI_Name--------------- Port

-- Generic iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:ba7a38f0ffff.4b798940 0:3:1

iqn.1986-03.com.sun:01:ba7a38f0ffff.4b798940 1:3:1

2. Create an iSCSI host definition entry by issuing the HP 3PAR OS CLI createhost -iscsi

<hostname> <host iSCSI name> command.

CAUTION: If, when Host Explorer is installed, /usr/local is a symbolic link, this link will

be removed and be replaced by a directory. This may affect some applications. To prevent

this, reply No when asked, during installation, Do you want to install these

conflicting files?. Host Explorer will then install normally.
