The following columns are displayed:

• Name of the target. This is the same as the Identifier filed, unless it is modified.

• Target Port – Lists the port number

• Status – Online (green icon) or “Host Offline”

• Link Speed – Data transfer rate of the link, in GB/sec

• <Identifier> – WWPN for Fibre Channel, or IQN for iSCSI

• Volumes – Number of volumes being accessed through this target.

• Hostname (HA only) – Name of the host (cluster node) associated with this target port.

Clicking the link displays details for the host (see

CREATING AN ALIAS FOR A TARGET PORT

You can create an alias for a target port, to provide an identifier that’s easier to read and
remember.

1. Click the Edit button in the Identifier column that corresponds to the target port for the

added alias.

2. Type the alias name for the port. This alias name must be unique in the ION Accelerator

appliance – no duplication of the alias is allowed.

3. Click outside the edit box to finalize the name.

The alias now appears as the primary identifier for the target, and the WWPN or IQN appears in
parentheses next to it.

COLUMNS AND SEARCH (TARGETS)

The default columns for the Targets screen are shown below. To change the columns that are
displayed, click the Columns link and clear or check the boxes as desired. Then click Update

Columns to save the changes.

You can also use the basic Search feature and the Enhanced Search
tab to find attributes in your ION Accelerator appliance that
correspond to the column entries. See
