Setting configuration settings

To configure iSCSI target settings:

Use the iscsiadm command to add the mpx100/100b iSCSI port IP addresses:

iscsiadm add discovery-address 33.33.66.65

NOTE:

The iSCSI Initiator must discover all targets presented by each mpx100/100b iSCSI port

used in a multipath configuration.

Create a Solaris iSCSI host entry to present LUNs to an iSCSI host using HP Command View EVA.

Follow the procedure

that the host mode setting for Solaris is Linux/MAC.

Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—Remove LUN 0 from the Solaris iSCSI Initiator using the

mpx CLI:

NOTE:

For Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—By default HP Command View will assign LUN 0

to each iSCSI Initiator that is presented a virtual disk. Because the Solaris iSCSI Initiator

does not recognize LUN 0 as the EVAcontroller console LUN the initiator will try to bring

LUN 0 online, resulting in the following warning:

NOTE:

For Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—Whenever an additional virtual disk is presented

to the Solaris Initiator, LUN 0 will be automatically added. Be sure to remove LUN 0 from

the iSCSI Initiator whenever a new virtual disk is presented to the Solaris iSCSI Initiator.

a. Use telnet to connect to the mpx100 management port, or connect to the mpx100 serial port

The mpx100 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0. The mpx100 serial

port’s default setting is 115200/8/n/1.
