HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option 3.0 Release Notes (5697-6148, October 2006)

When a path is
lost to a target, Windows MPIO initiator does not re-log in to
the target af
ter the path becomes available
Microsoft MP
IO 2.0 does not have any polling functionality to query the target when it becomes
available. The Target status is inactive and the total path count is reduced until the initiator re-logs in
to the target manually.
Workaround
1. Start the mpx100 Manager GUI.
2. Select the Inactive target under the Targets tab.
3. Click Log On.
4. Click the Enable multi-path check box.
5. Click OK.
NOTE:
Do not click the Automatically Restore check box, because this creates a duplicate target entry
under the Persistent Targets tab.
HP StorageWorks High-Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) for M-Series Fibre
Channel switches does not recognize the mpx100
The M-Series Zoning Manager does not recognize the world wide port names (WWPNs) of the mpx100
as Fibre Channel HBAs. Instead, the M-Series Zoning Manager sees the WWPNs as switches so
they do not appear as devices to zone.
Workaround
Use an alternative M-Series application to configure zones that include the mpx100 WWPNs. Select
one of the following applications:
• Prior to HAFM 8, use Embedded Web Server.
• For HAFM 8 and later, use HAFM Basic.
NOTE:
After configuring the zones, you must update HAFM to include these new edits.
iSCSI initiator no longer logs into the target after changing the initiator iqn
name
The iSCSI name structure is fairly rigid and contains two parts: a type designation followed by a
unique name string.
The two type designators for iSCSI are:
• The iSCSI qualified name—iqn.
• The IEEE EUI-64 identifier in ASCII-encoded hexadecimal—eui.
The following example shows an iqn string:
iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:imthe.firstone.net
This designator type consists of the following parameters:
• The string iqn followed by a dot (.)
