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 67

) 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 65 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.

4.

In the Operating system field, select the appropriate operating system for the iSCSI Initiator,

as follows:

Command View 6.0.2 and 7.0
