Table 36 Adding a
iSCSI Host

For the iSCSI initiator name, use an iSCSI-Qualified Name (IQN) for the

host being added. This information is available from the iSCSI Initiator.

For additional details, see the user documentation included with the

iSCSI Initiator software.

An IQN can be used by any organization that owns a domain name.

According to IETF RFC 3720, an iSCSI qualified name string consists of:
• The string "iqn.", used to distinguish these names from "eui."

formatted names.

• A date code, in yyyy-mm format. This date MUST be a date during

which the naming authority owned the domain name used in this

format, and SHOULD be the first month in which the domain name

was owned by this naming authority at 00:01 GMT of the first day of

the month. This date code uses the Gregorian calendar. All four digits

in the year must be present. Both digits of the month must be present,

with January == "01" and December == "12". The dash must be

included.

• A dot "."
• The reversed domain name of the naming authority (person or

organization) creating this iSCSI name. For example, if the domain

name were “example.com”, then the reverse domain name would be

“com.example”.
