name on this menu so that the iSCSI Initiator Name on all the controllers
match. If there were pre-existing sessions before the iSCSI Initiator Name
change, the pre-existing sessions use the original name that was used to
login the very first time. The new name is used for any sessions added after
the name change.
3. Select Save and press <Enter> to save the iSCSI initiator name. If you select
Controller Configuration without saving the changes, a warning message will
appear stating that your settings will be lost and asking whether you want to cancel
or not. Press <Y> and you will lose your changes. Press <N> and you will return to
the iSCSI Initiator Configuration screen.
Selecting a Controller
After you configure an ISCSI initiator name, select a controller to configure the iSCSI
target. If you are running the iSCSISelect utility with multiple controllers, all the
controllers are listed in the Controller Selection menu. Figure 9-2 is an example of the
Controller Selection menu.

If you are not sure that you are configuring the correct port, you can check by either:

Performing port identification. For additional information, see “Identifying a
Port” on page 1609.

Checking the link status in the Network Configuration menu. Connect the
controller port to a 10 Gb/s switch port and check the link status in the Network
Configuration menu. If the status is Link Up, it is the correct controller port.
Note: Make sure you back out of the Network Configuration menu to the
Controller Configuration menu before checking the Network
Configuration menu. This allows the Link Status field to refresh when
you insert or remove the cable from the controller.
