To discover the mpx100/100b:

1.

Start HP Command View EVA and click the EVA storage system icon that is configured to present
iSCSI storage.

2.

Click the iSCSI Devices folder under Hardware.

3.

Click Discover iSCSI Devices on the Properties bar. If mpx100/100b devices are discovered, a
new icon named iSCSI Controller appears under the iSCSI Devices folder. If the devices are not
automatically discovered, click Add iSCSI Device and add the mpx100/100b management port
IP address.

NOTE:

A single host entry named iSCSI host is automatically created under the Host folder, regardless
whether one or two iSCSI controllers are discovered. For multipath purposes, HP Command View
EVA treats both the mpx100/100b devices as a single host when presenting or

unpresenting

Fibre Channel or iSCSI LUNs.

4.

Click the IP Ports tab of the iSCSI Controller icon and configure the mpx100/100b iSCSI IP port
address and subnet mask. There are two IP ports available for iSCSI communications. Configure
as needed.

NOTE:

Changes must be saved before the new IP Port address is available to iSCSI Initiators.

Creating an iSCSI Initiator host via HP Command View EVA

To create an HP Command View host entry for an iSCSI Initiator:

1.

Click Add Host under the Hosts folder. In the Add a Host screen (

Figure 68

) click the iSCSI radio

button in the Type field. The Basic Settings screen is automatically refreshed to the iSCSI fields
necessary to create an iSCSI host entry.

2.

Enter the Host name. This host name is used by HP Command View to display under the Hosts
folder.

3.

In the iSCSI Node Name field, select an iSCSI Initiator’s IQN name. The IQN is assigned to the
iSCSI Host Name entry in the same manner that a WWPN is assigned to a Fibre Channel host
name.

NOTE:

The iSCSI Initiator must first successfully log in to the mpx100/100b in order for HP Command
View to display the iSCSI Initiator’s IQN. See

Setting up the iSCSI initiator and storage

, page

69 to install and configure an iSCSI Initiator and access the mpx100/100b.

IMPORTANT:

If an iSCSI Initiator is logged into both the mpx100/100b devices, it will only display the iSCSI
Initiator IQN once. HP Command View EVA recognizes that the iSCSI Initiator is logged into
both.
