HP StorageWorks EVA iSCSI Connectivity Option 5.0 release notes (5697-6714, August 2007)

HP StorageWorks High-Availability Fabric Manager (HAFM) for M -Series Fibre

Channel sw it

ches 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 a lternative M-Series application to conﬁgure zones that include the mpx100 WWPNs. Select one

of the following applications:

• PriortoHAFM8,useEmbeddedWebServer.

• 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 lo gs 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 t ype consists of the following parameters:

• The string iqn followed by a dot (.)

• A date code, in yyyy-mm format follow ed by another dot (.)

• A reverse domain name

• Optional colon (:) preﬁxed by a string

If only using ASCII characters (U+0000 to U+007F), the following characters are allowed:

• ASCII dash character (’-’ = U+002d)

• ASCII dot character (’.’ = U+002e)

• ASCII colon character (’:’ = U+003a)

• ASCII lower-case characters (’a’..’z’ = U+0061..U+007a)

• ASCII digit characters (’0’..’9’ = U+0030..U+0039)

NOTE:

See section 3.2.6 of Request for Comments (RFC) 3720 (iSCSI) for a description of the iSCSI name

string proﬁle. You can acc ess RFC 3720 at: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3720.txt.
