Command History
Usage Guidelines You can assign a load metric to each initiator for weighted load balancing. The load calculated is based
on the number of initiators on a given iSCSI interface. This feature accommodates initiators with
different bandwidth requirements. For example, you could assign a higher load metric to a database
server than to a web server. Weighted load balancing also accommodates initiators with different link
speeds.
Examples The following example specifies a load-balancing metric for the iSLB initiator.
switch# config t
switch(config)# islb initiator ip-address 100.10.10.10
switch (config-islb-init)# metric 100
The following example reverts to the default load-balancing metric.
switch (config-islb-init)# no metric 100
