Description The EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option provides iSCSI connectivity to EVA Fibre Channel storage systems. You may order: • AE324A with an EVA storage system or to upgrade an existing EVA storage system. This option includes one hardware unit and the components needed to install in any EVA cabinet.
Operating systems • Windows Server 2003 SP1, R2, SP2 • Windows XP Professional SP1, SP2 • VmWare ESX Server 3.0.
LUN 0 is automatically presented by Command View whenever a Virtual Disk is presented to an iSCSI host iqn. Workaround After presenting any LUN to the Solaris server iqn using Command View, the user must remove LUN 0 from the Solaris iqn entry for each iSCSI presented target on the mpx100: 1. Use Telnet to connect to the mpx100 management port, or connect to the mpx100 serial port using the HP-supplied connector. NOTE: The mpx100 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0.

NOTE: HP recommends adding a Symbolic Name to the iSCSI port iqn target name when presenting the target to an iSNS server. Mac iSCSI initiator may lose iSCSI connectivity to its LUNs if the Mac server has Sleep mode enabled The ATTO iSCSI initiator does not support MAC server Sleep mode. If the Mac goes to sleep because server Sleep mode is enabled, it may lose its iSCSI connections to its EVA LUNs. Workaround Disable MAC server Sleep mode if the ATTO iSCSI initiator is installed.
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.
Workaround Follow the correct iqn name syntax as described in section 3.2.6 of RFC 3720. For Windows—In the initiator GUI, click Reset under Change in the General tab to reset the iqn name to its original name that was created when you installed the initiator. For Linux—Edit the InitiatorName setting in the initiatorname.iscsi file using the correct syntax. For Linux and Windows—Reinstalling the initiator creates a valid iqn name.
Command View EVA This section describes important Command View EVA information. Command View EVA refresh Command View EVA refresh interval can affect controller property field information. Workaround To ensure that you retain iSCSI controller property field information in Command View EVA, do one of the following: • Enter a portion of the data between page refreshes, and click Save to store the information. Enter the rest of the data and click Save.
Creating a LUN on an EVA GL running VCS 3.028 to present to an iSCSI initiator When creating a LUN on an EVA GL running VCS 3.028 to present to an iSCSI initiator, the LUN’s preferred path properties must be set to either Path (controller) A or Path (controller) B. When an EVA GL is running VCS 3.028 firmware, the controllers are configured in Active/Passive mode.
Rebooting the mpx100 to activate a new firmware version may result in a lost connection between a single-path iSCSI initiator and the mpx100 iSCSI port Although the average mpx100 reboot time is under 50 seconds, the reboot can result in a lost connection between a single-path iSCSI initiator and the mpx100 iSCSI port.
Supersedes history Supersedes mpx100 firmware version 2.0.8.8. Effective date August 2007 EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option 5.
