Enabling and Disabling Physical Ports (OneConnect Adapters Only)
Using the Physical Port Info tab you can enable or disable the physical port. When you disable a
physical port, you disable all functions, such as iSCSI and NIC, for the port. Disabled ports appear in the
discovery-tree with a red X.

Configuring iSCSI Port Initiator Login Options
The iSCSI Initiator Login Options dialog box enables you to configure the set of login options used by
the iSCSI initiator when logging into a target portal or by the target portal when it is discovering targets.
The discovered targets inherit the login options used during this discovery. Target portals discovered via
iSNS also use these login options. The dialog box contains the initiator iSCSI Qualified Name (IQN) and
fields for manually entering the IQN and an optional initiator alias. Initiator login options are controlled
using several drop down boxes. You can also configure the initiator authentication method and view the
factory default login options.
Note: Ensure there is no I/O traffic on the port before disabling it and never disable a boot
port.
Note: You cannot disable a port if PXE Boot is enabled or if any of the iSCSI target sessions
are boot sessions.
