34 Using iSCSI
Changing the iSCSI Target Identification
You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with
the target for simpler identification. Aliases are useful because the iSCSI
target names are not intuitive. You should provide an iSCSI target alias that is
meaningful and easy to remember.
1
Click the iSCSI tab, and then click Change Target Identification .
2 Type the alias in the iSCSI target alias field and click OK .
NOTE: Aliases can contain a maximum of 30 characters. Aliases can include
letters, numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), minus (-), and
pound sign (#). No other special characters are permitted.
NOTE: Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE
®
Linux Enterprise Server 10 with SP 1) does not support using target alias.
Changing the iSCSI Target Discovery (Optional)
NOTE: Changing the iSCSI Target Discovery is optional.
1 Click the iSCSI tab, and then click Change Target Discovery .
2 Select the Use iSNS server check box to activate iSCSI target discovery.
You can use
one of these methods:
a Use the DHCP option (IPv4 only) to automatically activate target
discovery. You also can refresh the DHCP.
b Type the IPv4 or IPv6 address to activate the target discovery. After
you manually enter an IP address, you also can click
Advanced to set
the customized TCP listening ports.
3 If you do not want to allow discovery sessions that are not named, select
Disallow un-named discovery sessions .
Un-named discovery sessions are discovery sessions that are permitted to run
without a target name. With an un-named discovery session, the target name
or the target portal group tag is not available to enforce the iSCSI session
identifier (ISID) rule. For more information on un-named discovery sessions,
click the Support tab, then click View Online Help.
