7 Using HP Command View EVA to
configure LUNs to iSCSI Initiators
This chapter contains the following topics:
• Initial discovery of the mpx100 via HP Command View EVA
• Creating an iSCSI initiator host via HP Command View EVA
• Presenting a virtual disk to an iSCSI initiator via HP Command View EVA
• Unpresenting a virtual disk to an iSCSI initiator via HP Command View EVA
HP Command View allows LUN management for iSCSI Initiators through additional screens. Under
host:
•
A new entity named iSCSI MPX Host is automatically created during iSCSI device discovery. This
new entity behaves like any other fibre Channel host entry.
•
iSCSI Initiators are added as individual iSCSI host entries, which are either created by the user
through an existing Add Host screen, or automatically created.
NOTE:
All Command View EVA features for iSCSI connectivity are supported with server-based management
and array-based management.
Initial discovery of the mpx100/100b via HP Command View
EVA
Discovery of the mpx100/100b connected to the EVA is initiated from the iSCSI Devices properties
page. (It is assumed that you have configured all hardware.)
NOTE:
HP Command View communication with the mpx100/100b is done out-of-band through the IP
connection of the HP Command View Server to the mpx100/100b management port’s IP address.
NOTE:
Command View EVA is supported with the mpx100/100b using IPv4 or IPv6. Before enabling IPv6
on the mpx100/100b and the management server, ensure that the mpx100/100b can communicate
with the management server using IPv4. To prevent loss of connectivity, do not disable IPv4 and IPv6
at the same time. If you configure IPv6 on any mpx100/100b iSCSI port, you must also configure
IPv6 on the management server.
