86 Configuration: Using iSCSI
Changing the iSCSI Target Identification
You cannot change the iSCSI target name, but you can associate an alias with
the target for simpler identification. Aliases are useful because the iSCSI
target names are not intuitive. Provide an iSCSI target alias that is
meaningful and easy to remember.
To change the iSCSI target identification:
1
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab.
2
Select
Manage iSCSI Settings
.
The
Manage iSCSI Settings
window is displayed.
3
Select the
Target Identification
tab.
4
Type the alias in
iSCSI target alias
.
5
Click
OK
.
NOTE: Aliases can contain up to 30 characters. Aliases can include letters,
numbers, and the special characters underscore (_), minus (-), and pound sign (#).
No other special characters are permitted.
NOTE: Open iSCSI (which is used by Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE Linux
Enterprise Server 10 with SP1) does not support using target alias.
Changing the iSCSI Target Discovery Settings
To change the iSCSI target discovery settings:
1
In the AMW, select the
Setup
tab.
2
Select
Manage iSCSI Settings
.
The
Manage iSCSI Settings
window is displayed.
3
Select the
Target Discovery
tab.
4
Select
Use iSNS
to activate iSCSI target discovery.
To activate iSCSI target discovery, you can use one of the following
methods:
• Select
Obtain configuration automatically from DHCP server
to
automatically activate target discovery for IPv4 settings using the
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). You can also refresh
the DHCP.
