Command History
Usage Guidelines Three dynamic initiator modes are supported:
• iSCSI—Dynamic initiators are treated as iSCSI initiators and can access dynamic virtual targets and
configured iSCSI virtual targets.
• iSLB—Dynamic initiators are treated as iSLB initiators and can access dynamic virtual targets.
• Deny—Dynamic initiators are not allowed to log in to the MDS switch.
iSCSI dynamic initiator is the default mode of operation. This configuration is distributed using CFS.
Note Configuring dynamic initiator modes is supported only through the CLI, not through Device Manager or
Fabric Manager.
A dynamic iSCSI initiator can be converted to a static iSCSI initiator and its WWNs can be made
persistent.
A dynamic iSLB initiator can be converted to a static iSLB initiator and its WWNs can be made
persistent.
Note You cannot convert a dynamic iSCSI initiator to a static iSLB initiator, or a dynamic iSLB initiator to a
static iSCSI initiator.
deny Specifies that dynamic initiators are denied from logging on to the MDS
switch.
islb Specifies iSLB dynamic initiator mode.
