Important information
The following sections list important notes and workarounds.
Configuring the Symbolic Name
You can add a unique Symbolic Name to the iSCSI port iqn target name. This additional information
in the iqn target name is useful to determine if a specific mpx100 is available. You can modify the
Symbolic Name attribute through the HP StorageWorks mpx100 manager GUI or through the mpx100
CLI. A Symbolic Name is optional, and by default the Symbolic Name attribute is blank.
Typically, the iSCSI port iqn target name is presented as follows:
iqn.1986-03.com.hp:fcgw.mpx100:1.50001fe150002f70.50001fe150002f7f

iqn.1986-03.com.hp:fcgw.mpx100 The standard iqn name for all mpx100s

Presented EVA port
If you enter a name in the Symbolic Name attribute, the iSCSI port iqn Target name that is presented

example, the following iSCSI port iqn target name has the Symbolic Name blg2-lab embedded within:
