NOTE:

The Symbolic Name syntax must follow the iSCSI standard for IQN naming. Only the following ASCII

characters (U+0000 to U+007F), are allowed:
• ASCII dash character (-) = U+002d
• ASCII dot character (.) = U+002e
• ASCII colon character (:) = U+003a
• ASCII lower-case characters (a through z) = U+0061 through U+007a
• ASCII digit characters (0 through 9) = U+0030 through U+0039
See section 3.2.6 of Request for Comments (RFC) 3720 (iSCSI) for a description of the iSCSI name string

profile. You can access RFC 3720 at the ftp site: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3720.txt.

3.

Enable the Embed Symbolic Name option.

When this setting is enabled, the mpx100/100b embeds the symbolic name as part of the Target

IQN on the iSNS server. This also helps users to recognize the target if multiple mpxs are registered

with the same iSNS server.
