Changing The iSCSI Target Identification
You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with the target for simpler
identification. Aliases are useful because the iSCSI target names are not intuitive. Provide an iSCSI target
alias that is meaningful and easy to remember.
To change the iSCSI target identification:
1. In the AMW, select the Setup tab.
2. Select Manage iSCSI Settings.
The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed.
3. Select the Target Configuration tab.
4. Type the alias in iSCSI alias.
5. Click OK.
NOTE: Aliases can contain up to 30 characters. Aliases can include letters, numbers, and the
special characters underscore (_), minus (-), and pound sign (#). No other special characters are
permitted.
NOTE: Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server 10 with SP 1) does not support using target alias.
Changing The iSCSI Target Discovery Settings
To change the iSCSI target discovery settings:
1. In the AMW, select the Setup tab.
2. Select Manage iSCSI Settings.
The Manage iSCSI Settings window is displayed.
3. Select the Target Discovery tab.
4. Select Use iSNS to activate iSCSI target discovery.
5. To activate iSCSI target discovery, you can use one of the following methods:
– Select Obtain configuration automatically from DHCP server to automatically activate target
discovery for IPv4 settings using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can also
refresh the DHCP.
– Select Specify Configuration, and type the IPv4 address to activate the target discovery.
– Type the iSNS server IP address in the IPv6 settings area to activate the target discovery.
NOTE: After you manually enter an IP address, you can also click Advanced to configure the
customized TCP listening ports.
NOTE: If you do not want to allow discovery sessions that are not named, select Disallow un-
named discovery sessions.
NOTE: Un-named discovery sessions are discovery sessions that are permitted to run without a
target name. With an un-named discovery session, the target name or the target portal group
tag is not available to enforce the iSCSI session identifier (ISID) rule.
6. Click OK.
