of the following:

• Enter a portion of the data bet ween page refreshes, and click Save to store the information. Enter

the rest of the data and click Save.

iSCSI host entry in Command View EVA 5.0 and 6.0 must be refreshed with new WWPNs

after an mpx100 FRU replacement

Thempx100FCportWWPNsarepresentedLUNs,muchlikeanyotherFChost,byCommandViewvia

the iSCSI host entry under the Command View EVA hosts folder. If a n mpx100 is replaced, the iSCSI host

entry must c ontain the WW P Ns of the replacement to continue LUN presentation.

Workarou

Once a new mpx100 has been installed and restored with the full conﬁguration of the replaced mpx100,

start Command View and click the Refresh button in the properties page of the iSCSI Controller under

iSCSI devices. This adds the new mpx100 Fibre Channel port’s WWPNs to the existing iSCSI host entry.

IMPORTA

NT:

This wor

karound is no longer necessary with 6.02 or greater.

Command View 5.0 and 6.0, iSCSI host objects Fibre Channel ports are not updated during

mpx100 FRU replacement

Command View presents LUNs to the mpx100 Fibre Channel port WWP N s through the iSCSI host entry

in the Command View EVA hosts folder. If an mpx100 i s replaced, the iSCSI host entry must contain the

WW PNs of the replacement to continue LUN presentation.

Workaround

If the replaced mpx100 loses communication after restoring the conﬁguration ﬁle, update the iSCSI

controller object WWN:

1. Open the Command View GUI.

2. Check the iSCSI host object in the host folder to verify the Fibre Channel port WWN.

3. If the Fibre Channel por ts are not updated with the new hardware’s Fibre Channel port WWN,

manually delete the old Fibre Channel port W W N.

4. Use add host to add the n ew Fibre Channel port WWN.

5. Verify the new Fibre Channel WWN is displayed.

IMPORTANT:

This workaround i s no longer necessary with 6.02 or greater.
