Command line 52
iscsi-connection
Manage iSCSI connections.
Supported actions: add, help, remove, set, show
Item Description
add iscsi-connection Add a new iSCSI connection to an existing server VC profile. This command can
be executed only if the current VC domain is managing one or more Flex-10
modules.
Syntax
add iscsi-connection <ProfileName>
[Network=<NetworkName>]
[AddressType=<Factory-Default|User-Defined>]
[iScsiMAC=<MAC Address>]
[SpeedType=<Auto|Preferred|Custom|Disabled>]
[Speed=<speed>]
Parameter
ProfileName (required) The name of an existing profile to which the new connection is being added
Properties
Network (optional) The name of an existing network to associate with the connection. If the network
name is not specified or is unassigned, it can be assigned later.
AddressType (optional) The source of MAC address assignments to be used during the creation of the
new connection. If not specified, the default is the domain default. If
"User-Defined" is specified, the iSCSI MAC address must be specified. Valid
values include "Factory-Default" and "User-Defined".
iScsiMAC (required if
AddressType is
User-Defined)
The user-defined iSCSI MAC address to use for the connection.
SpeedType (optional) The requested operational speed for the server port. Valid values include
"Auto", "Preferred", "Custom", and "Disabled". The default value is
"Preferred".
If the speed type is "Auto", the maximum port speed is allocated but is
constrained by the maximum configured speed for the network.
If the speed type is "Preferred", the speed of the network is the same as the
preferred speed of the network to which the connection is associated. If no
preferred speed is configured for a network, the speed type defaults to "Auto".
If the speed type is "Custom", you can configure a speed (using the Speed
property) from 100Mb to the MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb
increments.
If the speed type is "Disabled", bandwidth is not allocated and the server port
status is "Administratively Disabled".
Speed (required if the
SpeedType is Custom)
The user-defined speed for the server port. Valid values include from 100Mb to
the MAX configured speed for the network in 100Mb increments.
