Setting configuration settings

To configure iSCSI target settings:

1.

Use the iscsiadm command to add the mpx100/100b iSCSI port IP addresses:

iscsiadm add discovery-address 33.33.66.65

NOTE:

The iSCSI Initiator must discover all targets presented by each mpx100/100b iSCSI port

used in a multipath configuration.

2.

Create a Solaris iSCSI host entry to present LUNs to an iSCSI host using HP Command View EVA.

Follow the procedure

Creating an iSCSI initiator host via HP Command View EVA

, page 130. (Note

that the host mode setting for Solaris is Linux/MAC.

3.

Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—Remove LUN 0 from the Solaris iSCSI Initiator using the

mpx CLI:

NOTE:

For Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—By default HP Command View will assign LUN 0

to each iSCSI Initiator that is presented a virtual disk. Because the Solaris iSCSI Initiator

does not recognize LUN 0 as the EVAcontroller console LUN the initiator will try to bring

LUN 0 online, resulting in the following warning:
Mar 21 08:04:09 hdxs8j iscsi:

m2.0.50001fe1500aef60.50001fe1500aef68 LUN 0

NOTE:

For Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0 only—Whenever an additional virtual disk is presented

to the Solaris Initiator, LUN 0 will be automatically added. Be sure to remove LUN 0 from

the iSCSI Initiator whenever a new virtual disk is presented to the Solaris iSCSI Initiator.

a. Use telnet to connect to the mpx100 management port, or connect to the mpx100 serial port

using the HP-supplied connector.
The mpx100 management port’s default IP address is 10.0.0.1/255.0.0.0. The mpx100 serial

port’s default setting is 115200/8/n/1.
