5 Configuring Fibre Channel initiators to iSCSI storage
This chapter provides instructions for connecting Fibre Channel hosts to iSCSI targets using the
MPX200 Multifunction Routers.
Prerequisites
Before connecting the Fibre Channel hosts to the iSCSI targets:
1. Configure the router iSCSI ports.
2. Allow access from the iSCSI storage to the router based on the iqn or the IP address.
3. Set the Time To Target Device Offline system parameter to 60, using the set
system command.
For access control information, see your iSCSI storage documentation.
Discovering the iSCSI targets
There are two ways to discover the iSCSI targets:
• Using the iSCSI discover command
• Using iSNS server connectivity
Using the iSCSI discover command
1. Issue the show targets command:
MPX200 <1> (admin) #> show targets
No Targets found.
2. Issue the iscsi discover command:
MPX200 <1> (admin) #> iscsi discover
The first attribute appears with the current value in brackets. Type a new value, or press the
Enter key to accept the current value. The next attribute with the current value appears.
To stop this process before reaching the end of the list, press the Q+Enter keys.
All of the attributes are shown in the following example:
IP Address (IPv4 or IPv6) [0.0.0.0 ]
192.168.95.48
TCP Port No. [3260 ]
Outbound Port (1=GE1, 2=GE2, ...) [GE1 ] 3
Target CHAP (0=Enable, 1=Disable [Disabled ]
3. To see the target attributes, issue the show targets command:
MPX200 <1> (admin) #> show targets
