Creating an iSCSI FC zone

To create a zone alias

1. Connect and log in to the switch as admin.

2. Enter the aliCreate command.

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration:

switch:admin> alicreate ISCSI_TARGETS, "21:00:00:04:cf:e7:74:cf;

21:00:00:04:cf:e7:73:7e; 2f:ff:00:06:2b:0d:12:99"

switch:admin>

switch:admin> alicreate ISCSI_VI_SWITCH1_SLOT3, "50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:00;

50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:08; 50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:10; 50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:18;

50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:20; 50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:28; 50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:30;

50:06:06:9e:00:15:63:38"

You can create aliases, add and remove members from an alias, and delete aliases. These

operations function the same way with iSCSI as they do without. To learn more about these

operations, see “About Zones” in the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide and the aliCreate command

in the Fabric OS Command Reference.

To create the iSCSI FC zone

1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.

2. Enter the zoneCreate command.

switch:admin>

switch:admin> zonecreate iscsi_zone001, "ISCSI_TARGETS;

ISCSI_VI_SWITCH1_SLOT3"

switch:admin>

where:

zonename The user-defined name for the created zone

member_FCtarget_pWWN iSCSI FC targets specified by either WWNs and/or alias

member_iscsi_pwwn iSCSI virtual initiators specified by either WWNs and/or alias

member The member device specified by switch domain and port area

pair (for example, 7, 3)

Specify the zone members using WWNs, alias names, and/or switch domain and port area

pair. For more information about the zoneCreate command, see “About Zones” in the Fabric OS

Administrator’s Guide and the zoneCreate command in the Fabric OS Command Reference.

3. Enter the cfgSave command to save the change to the defined configuration.

The following example illustrates the creation of a zone by specifying the aliases for FC targets

and iSCSI virtual initiators as members of the named zone.

switch:admin> cfgsave

You are about to save the Defined zoning configuration. This

action will only save the changes on the Defined configuration.

Any changes made on the Effective configuration will not

take effect until it is re-enabled.

Do you want to save Defined zoning configuration only? (yes, y, no, n): [no] y
