Searching for a specific Fibre Channel target

The creation wizard has a search function to find specific Fibre Channel targets.

Use the following procedure to search for a specific FC target.

1. Click the Search link.

2. Input the <domain,port>, partial WWN, or vendor name, or a combination of these values.

3. Click Next.

The search results are shown as selected nodes in the Fibre Channel target tree. No changes
are made if search criteria does not match.

Viewing iSCSI initiators

When you set up the iSCSI target gateway on a switch, all initiators may not be online yet, but the
initiators automatically pick up and display in the Initiators tab. The table size grows automatically
to show the initiators.

This view presents all iSCSI initiators (hosts) and its associated mappings. You can view iSCSI
initiator sessions here.

Discovery Domain management

You configure discovery domains (DD) and discovery domain sets for managing iSCSI device access
control. The Discovery Domains pane displays all discovery domains and discovery domain sets
and allows you to manage them.

When you select DDInfo from the tree in the left pane, you can create a discovery domain. If you
select an object in the discovery domain set listed you can view, create, edit, delete, enable, or
disable any of the discovery domain information contained in each object. If you select a discovery
domain object, you can edit or delete the data contained in the object.

Discovery domains are placed in a discovery domain set.

Discovery domains

In the Create DD wizard you can configure the discovery domains (DD), add DDs to DDSets, and
view the confirmation report.

NOTE

When you create new DDs, you specify a DD name, but you cannot edit or change the name when
you edit the DDs.

When you launch the Create DD or Create DDSet wizard, you can add or remove virtual targets to
the selected DD or DDSet. The wizard displays all available initiators and targets grouped by
initiators and targets on the left side. Depending on how the wizard is launched, the right side is
blank or list current members of the DD being used:

When the wizard is launched using Create, the list at the right is blank.

When the wizard is launched using Edit, the list at the right displays current members of the
DD being viewed.
