Configuring Target Ports
The second step in configuring a vSHARE HP VMA SAN Gateway is to configure
the target ports. The target ports control access to a particular LUN, which may be
useful for both security and bandwidth management.
In a vSHARE system, the VMA Arrays are the targets and the host system (for
example, one or more database servers or application servers) are the initiators . The
storage systems have storage target devices, LUNs, which the hosts access through
the HP VMA SAN Gateway.
vSHARE supports Fibre Channel target ports. Every target is a specific port on a
hardware Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA).
When using Fibre Channel, the target ports are automatically configured when you
create the storage container on the VMA Array.
A LUN may be exported through multiple target ports of different types. Active-
active multipathing is supported.
Configuring Fibre Channel Target Ports
When using Fibre Channel, the target ports are automatically configured when you
create the container on the VMA Array. However, you may wish to confirm that
the vSHARE system can see the target ports prior to creating the initiator groups.
The show targets command enables you to view all Fibre Channel target ports.
show targets Command
The show targets command lists all of the target ports and their addresses (wwn/
iqn), filtered by various options.
Syntax
show targets [node ] [hostname ]
[protocol fc] [id ] [sessions] [detail]
