ATTO Technology Inc. iPBridge Installation and Operation Manual

2.3 Mapping devices

SCSI devices are mapped using the designations for the SCSI bus, target and LUN. The iPBridge
automatically maps all devices during startup. If you wish to change mapping you may use the CLI or
the browser-based interface, ATTO ExpressNAV.

Note

To map devices, you should have a host
computer connected to the iPBridge Ethernet
port. Refer to

Configuring the iPBridge

on

page 13.

By default, a host or initiator will view the
iPBridge as a single iSCSI node with all available
SCSI devices shown as LUNs on a single iSCSI
target.

You may use multiple target mode to break the
single iSCSI node into multiple nodes. Multiple
target mode allows you to grant or deny access
between initiators and devices as needed.

Node names
iSCSI nodes are accessed through the Ethernet
ports on an iPBridge, each identified by its own IP
address.

The iPBridge uses the

iqn

name format,

referencing the device serial number, to guarantee
that the target name is world-wide unique:

iqn.1995-12.com.attotech:ipbridge:

serialnumber

CAUTION

CAUTION

Changing the device map can affect the
host’s view of devices and your application
configuration.

Single target mode

Single target mode is the default. Use the CLI
commands or the ExpressNAV interface to map
devices automatically or manually.

Note

The iPBridge automatically maps all devices
on startup.

Use Command Line Interface

To map devices automatically with CLI
1

At the command prompt, type

AutoMap

All the CLI commands necessary to enable
mapping and the command

saveconfiguration

norestart

will be performed.

To map devices manually with CLI
1

Type

SCSITargets 0

to list the SCSI devices

connected to the SCSI port.

The

SCSITargets

command lists each device

and its corresponding SCSI address. In the
example in Exhibit 2.3-2, the first tape drive is
on SCSI Port 0 (on the IPBridge) at Target ID 4,
LUN 0.

2

The

Route

command manually maps SCSI

devices through the bus/target/LUN.

• The command assigns an iSCSI LUN

protocol address to a target destination
device.

• More than one iSCSI LUN may not be

assigned to a SCSI BTL. If you try to map a
new SCSI BTL to the same iSCSI LUN, the
new BTL will overwrite the original map.

Type

Route iSCSI <LUN> SCSI <sb> <st> <sl>

st

and

sl

are the SCSI target ID and SCSI

LUN that the SCSI device is currently
configured for.

3

Type

RouteDisplay iSCSI

to display the current

mapping and the current status of the device for
iSCSI configurations.

RouteDisplay may be used at any time.
