HP StorageWorks SAN Director Installation Guide (A7393-90009, May 2007)

Installing the optional B-Series iSCSI Director Blade148
Configuring the FC4-16IP Blade
The following sections describe how to get started using the iSCSI target gateway once the blade
has been inserted into the chassis and the chassis has been configured for mode 5.
There are three levels of configuring the iSCSI blade:
1. Activating iSCSI, page 148
2. ”Enabling the persistently disabled ports” on page 148
3. ”Configuring the IP interface” on page 149
4. ”Configuring the FC4-16IP Blade” on page 148
For detailed procedures, see the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS administrator guide.
Activating iSCSI
The chassis-based switch by default disables iSCSI. iSCSI service must be enabled for any iSCSI
protocol operation. An iSCSI virtual target must be created and committed in order for an iSCSI host
to connect; no default iSCSI target is created.
Run the fosConfig command to enable iSCSI. Use this command to enable or disable a feature
or to display the current operating status of features on the switch.
fosconfig [--enable feature | --disable feature] | [--show] args
The following example shows iSCSI service being enabled:
Enabling the persistently disabled ports
Depending on the previous usage of the selected chassis slot, the FC4-16IP ports may be persistently
disabled. Before you can successfully configure the iSCSI Target Gateway, you must persistently
enable the ports.
1. Enter the portCfgShow command to view ports that are persistently disabled. You will need to
include the slot/port argument with portCfgShow, for example: portCfgShow 10/ge3
You could also use the switchShow command and parse the output for persistently disabled
ports.
2. After identifying disabled ports, enter the portCfgPersistentEnable command on each
port to enable them.
switch:admin> fosconfig --enable iscsi
Operation Succeeded.
